Alex Albon admits that Williams’ championship fate against AlphaTauri was out of its hands during the Formula 1 season finale
In the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Williams entered the race in seventh place in the Constructors’ standings, with a seven-point lead over AlphaTauri in eighth. However, Tsunoda’s strong starting position of sixth was a cause for concern for Williams, as it threatened their position in the standings. Despite their best efforts, neither Albon nor his teammate Sargeant were able to score points during the race. Albon admitted that they were dependent on Tsunoda’s performance, but unfortunately, he was too fast for them to have any involvement in his race. Ultimately, Williams secured seventh place in the standings, their best finish since 2017, as Ricciardo failed to score points and Albon finished 14th due to issues with wheel spin and the high wind conditions which negatively affected their car’s performance.
