Williams Formula 1 boss James Vowles has cooled rumours linking Alex Albon with a move away from the team in
Alexander Albon has been performing exceptionally well since his return to Formula 1 two years ago, earning most of Williams’ 28 points in 2023 and helping the team secure seventh place in the standings. There were speculations that Albon could potentially replace Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, but Lewis Hamilton’s unexpected decision to join the team put that option aside. However, Hamilton’s move created a vacancy at Mercedes for the next season, and Albon is now being considered as a strong candidate to partner with George Russell. Williams’ team manager, Dave Robson, confirmed that Albon has a contract with the team until the end of 2025 and that they aim to create a new environment that deserves a driver of Albon’s talent. Albon himself expressed his desire to win races and titles, and while he remained open to other opportunities, his main focus at the moment is on Williams and helping them progress in preparation for the upcoming regulation changes in 2026.
