Alex Albon has said now Williams has managed to produce a third chassis, it can re-focus on car development and clawing back lost ground to Haas and RB.
Alex Albon believes that Williams’ early-season struggles are a thing of the past as a third chassis will be available starting from the Miami Grand Prix. The delays in the pre-season car build led to Williams having only two chassis for the beginning of the season, which was evident in Australia when Albon crashed during practice. Following the damage to his FW46, Albon replaced Logan Sargeant based on the potential for scoring points. The repairs on the chassis impacted planned upgrades, but with the arrival of the third chassis in Miami, Albon remains focused on driving consistently. The team’s efforts to catch up have been challenging, but now with the additional chassis, Williams can concentrate on car development and upgrades to compete in the midfield. Despite not affecting his driving, Albon recognizes the significance of having a backup chassis for the demanding sprint races and street circuits on the current F1 calendar.
