Williams explain damage to Alex Albon’s car after dramatic fire in Singapore practice.
Williams have revealed the extensive damage to Alex Albon’s car after it caught fire in Singapore Grand Prix practice. The incident happened early on, with smoke emerging from the car before a fire took hold. Williams quickly controlled the situation, but the smoke lingered in the pit lane. Albon missed the rest of the session, which puts him at a disadvantage for the weekend. Williams plans to replace the rear-end assembly, hoping to have Albon back for FP2. The brake fire was due to a hardware issue similar to what affected Carlos Sainz in Austria. Williams is confident they can fix the problem before the next session.
