Williams has successfully repaired Alex Albon’s chassis which was severely damaged during the Australian Grand Prix.
Williams has confirmed that both Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant will compete in this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, with Albon’s destroyed chassis successfully repaired. Albon’s crash during first practice at Melbourne’s Albert Park Circuit resulted in significant damage to his FW45’s chassis, rendering the car unfit to continue in the event. Team principal James Vowles made the tough decision of having Albon use Sargeant’s chassis due to the lack of a spare, leading to Sargeant being withdrawn from the Grand Prix. Albon’s damaged chassis was quickly repaired and transported to Japan within a week, showing the team’s swift response. Albon expressed gratitude towards the team for their efforts, stating his eagerness for Suzuka and appreciation for the fans’ support. Sargeant acknowledged the challenging situation in Australia, but is focused on moving forward, thanking fans and preparing for Suzuka, a track he loves.
