Alex Albon has detailed how Monaco being the “least weight penalising track” on the Formula 1 calendar enabled him to take Williams’ maiden Q3 2024 appearance. Williams has endured a disappointing start to the campaign, but Albon excelled on the Monte Carlo streets to book a top-10 starting spot for the first time this term. […]
Williams has been struggling at the beginning of the season, but Albon performed exceptionally well in Monte Carlo, securing a top-10 starting position for the first time this year. Albon’s strategic decision to do a single lap during the pole position shootout paid off, placing him ahead of Alpine’s Gasly. The team had been working on improving the car’s performance all weekend, addressing issues with understeer and tire management. Williams aims to reduce excess weight on their car, which could potentially boost their lap times significantly. Albon remains cautiously optimistic about converting the starting position into points, focusing on managing tire graining for a successful race.
