Albon feared about Williams F1 spares "before I even hit the wall"
During the Australian Grand Prix, Albon was hit by Ricciardo, leading to both cars crashing into the tyre barriers, causing significant damage. The subsequent red flag interruption allowed for repairs, but Williams knew they were in a precarious situation without a spare chassis. Sargeant had to sit out the Grand Prix after Albon damaged his chassis during practice and took over his car. Albon’s crash in Japan added more pressure on Williams’ spare parts availability, with concerns about potential damage to the chassis persisting in his mind. The team faces challenges until they receive a new spare car in Miami, as the situation with spare parts remains difficult.
