Albon: Wind drop helped Williams come ‘alive’ in Qatar
Albon had expected the Lusail International Circuit to be a good fit for the Williams FW45, but the windy conditions during the weekend affected their performance. In the Sprint race, Albon overtook several drivers on degrading tires to finish eighth, which became seventh after Leclerc’s penalty. He believes that the drop in wind intensity during the race helped their performance significantly. Despite this, teammate Sargeant made a mistake and ended up in the gravel, ending his race on the third lap. Sargeant admitted it was a silly mistake and expressed disappointment, but he is optimistic about the longer race on Sunday.
