Williams Head of Vehicle Performance Dave Robson admits it was “quite a big surprise” when Alex Albon wound up second
Williams profited from two disqualifications at the United States Grand Prix to secure double points and Logan Sargeant’s first Formula 1 point. However, they have not finished in the top 10 at the last four races, leading Albon to be pessimistic about their prospects in Mexico. In Friday’s practice, Albon surprised the team by finishing second fastest, only 0.095s behind Max Verstappen. Although he couldn’t maintain that pace in the second session, Albon believes their performance was still strong and that they can fight for a place in Q3. He attributes their progress to the improvements made by Williams over the past year and believes there is still room for improvement ahead of qualifying.
