Williams may as well “go home” if spares situation changes its F1 approach, says Albon
The Thai driver and his team-mate Logan Sargeant have had a tough start to the season at Williams due to the lack of spare parts and a spare chassis. Sargeant sat out the Australian Grand Prix, and Albon crashed in the opening practice in Japan. In Suzuka, Albon hit the barriers after a clash with Daniel Ricciardo, but the team has since upgraded both cars with new parts. Despite the ongoing spare parts issue, Albon emphasized the importance of maintaining a competitive mindset in pursuit of the team’s first points of the year. He commended Williams for their efforts in fitting the cars with new parts and staying prepared for unpredictable races such as the upcoming one.
