Albon hopes for points: 'Worked hard on these upgrades'

Most teams leave the big upgrades for the race on the European continent, but Williams has an upgrade package to take to the GP of Canada this weekend. Alexander Albon makes believe it will be a good improvement.

Indeed, it is going to give the team a good amount of downforce, possibly even allowing them to go for the points. At least, that is what Albon hopes. Speaking at the press conference in Canada, the Williams driver said: "We've got some upgrades coming this weekend. Hopefully, in some ways, we want it to be dry just to see what they do."

It is likely to rain a lot in Canada this weekend, so possibly there will be little data gathering. Albon: "We've been pretty hard at work the last couple of weeks. Nothing too big, actually, balance-wise. It feels quite similar. It's more just a general downforce difference. So yeah, I think we've done a good job. I do think it's going to put us more into the fight with the midfield, something which we've been falling away a little bit from the last few races. So hopefully, it can just get us back into the fighting area for points."
