The Anglo-Thai driver, Alexander Albon, has made a strong comeback in F1 in 2022, securing all but one of Williams’ 28 points last season, helping the team claim seventh place in the standings. This performance has put Albon in the spotlight for a possible return to a top-tier team, with rumors suggesting Red Bull might want to bring him back. While Albon has a contract with Williams until 2025, there is speculation that he could be released earlier if a better opportunity arises. The driver market in F1 has been active, especially with Ferrari signing Lewis Hamilton, leading to discussions about Albon’s future earlier in the season than usual. Despite Williams’ struggles at the start of this season, Albon remains optimistic about the team’s direction and sees next season as a crucial period for evaluation before major regulation changes in 2026. Albon believes that team dynamics and understanding the car’s DNA are more important considerations than a long-term contract when looking ahead to the future in Formula 1.
