Alexander Albon and Williams will continue working together, as the Thai driver signed a multi-year deal that will see him racing with the British outfit until at least 2026.
Albon expressed his happiness about staying with such a historic team, and despite not being an easy time for the outfit, the Williams driver has faith in what the future could bring.
“I am incredibly happy to be remaining with Williams Racing and to continue working with such a talented and dedicated team of people,” Albon said.
“It has been a difficult start to the year, but since joining Williams we have made significant progress together, and I have seen the huge changes happening behind the scenes to take us back to the front of the grid.
“This is a long-term project that I really believe in and want to play a key role in which is why I have signed a multi-year contract.
“The journey will take time, but I am confident we are building the right team to move forward and achieve great things in the years to come.”
James Vowles was also thrilled to be able to keep such a great driver inside the team for the future. Having Albon as the lead driver is key for Williams in order to continue its growth toward the front of the field.
“We are delighted to secure Alex’s long-term future with Williams Racing,” admitted Vowles.
“He has exceptional talent, technical input, and dedication to the cause and this is a huge vote of confidence in Williams and the journey back to competitiveness that we are on.
“Since joining, Alex has consistently demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure, and signing him for the long-term is a big piece of the puzzle of moving us up the grid.”
