P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Alex Albon enjoyed a strong season at Williams as the Grove-based squad improved to seventh in the standings. The Thai-British driver is fully behind its recovery project but has asserted that he feels ready to compete higher up the pecking order.
“This year’s Formula 1 season was a significant improvement for Williams, as they moved closer to the midfield after years of competing at the back of the pack. Alex Albon’s 27 points helped the team secure seventh place in the Constructors’ Championship, their best result since 2017. Williams excelled on tracks that required high top speeds, making up for their lack of downforce. Albon performed well in several races, while the team started focusing on their car for the next year early on due to limitations with their 2023 challenger. Williams acknowledges their weaknesses and aims to improve their overall package, even if it means sacrificing their straight-line advantage. Despite their achievements this year, the team understands that progress will take time and they have been using this season to experiment and prepare for the future.”
