Longer stay at Williams for Albon: "He is happy here"

There is a good chance that Alexander Albon will be driving a Williams car next season too. Team boss Jost Capito says in conversation with Sky Sports that he is very satisfied with the driver. He hints at an option in his contract for a longer collaboration.

Williams brought in Albon this year as a replacement for George Russell, who went to Mercedes for his chance. It was certainly not the Thai's first adventure in Formula 1. While he had previously shown positive results at Toro Rosso, he disappointed at Red Bull Racing.

In 2022, the British team gave him a chance to continue his Formula 1 career. Alexander Albon is doing so convincingly for the time being. His teammate Nicholas Latifi is still empty-handed this season, while he has already scored three points for Williams.

The team is determined to continue its current momentum and is desperate to keep Albon. "He is happy here," Capito stressed in conversation with the English medium. "Even if he had the chance to change teams, he wouldn't want to." In Hungary, Albon will start from seventeenth place.
