Alex Albon explained that the best way for him to repay Logan Sargeant for giving up his car at the Australian Grand Prix would be to score points from his 12th place starting position. Due to manufacturing delays, Williams did not have a spare chassis, so when Albon damaged his car in practice, only one was available for the weekend. Albon felt a sense of responsibility after the decision was made for him to continue racing alongside Lewis Hamilton from the 12th grid position.
Although it was a challenging situation, Albon focused on his job and aimed to achieve a good result, viewing scoring points as the ultimate payback to Sargeant. Albon acknowledged the tough competition, especially from Mercedes, but expected his main rival to be Yuki in the Red Bull. Amidst the pressure and lack of spare chassis, Albon appreciated Sargeant’s support and teamwork throughout the weekend.
Despite the risk of not having a usable chassis in case of another incident, Albon maintained his aggressive approach and commitment to pushing limits. He mentioned the team’s struggles and hoped for improvements by the next race, acknowledging the challenges they have faced since winter testing. The team’s determination to fight and overcome obstacles has been evident, even amidst the difficult circumstances they have encountered.
