Williams has been trying to repair Alex Albon’s damaged chassis ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix.
Williams boss James Vowles is confident they will repair Alex Albon’s damaged chassis in time for the Japanese Grand Prix. The heavy crash during the first practice session heavily damaged Albon’s original chassis for the Melbourne weekend. Williams had no spare on-site in Melbourne due to car-build delays in the pre-season, leading to fielding only one car. Vowles chose to bench Logan Sargeant for Albon, who seemed more likely to score points. The damaged chassis was raced back to the factory, and Vowles provided an update on the repair process before the Suzuka trip in April. The team is working diligently to ensure both cars will be ready for the upcoming race weekend.
