Alex Albon has said that Williams’ Singapore Grand Prix upgrades are “a little bit of an unknown” quantity for the Grove-based Formula 1 outfit.
This weekend, Albon is the only Williams driver using the latest evolution of the FW46, while Franco Colapinto is in an older-spec car. The upgrades to Albon’s Williams include changes to various components such as front wishbones, track rod, pushrod geometries, brake duct surfaces, boot panels, and chassis leg fairings. Albon expressed uncertainty about the upgrades’ performance at the challenging Singapore track but noted they may be more suitable for street circuits than tracks like Austin. Despite the unfamiliarity, Albon sees this weekend as an opportunity for experimentation and learning. Williams’ recent improvements, including the Zandvoort and Singapore upgrades, have contributed to the team’s improved performance and standing in the Constructors’ championship, now ahead of Alpine in eighth place.
