Williams Racing announced that Alex Albon has signed a new contract extension, which will keep him at the team until 2026. Albon returned to Formula 1 with Williams in 2022, replacing George Russell, who moved to Mercedes. Since then, Albon has worked hard to rebuild his reputation after a challenging period with Red Bull. In the previous season, Albon had an exceptional performance, scoring all but one of Williams’ 28 points and helping the team secure seventh place in the championship. Despite a tough start in the current campaign, Albon has decided to commit his future to Williams, especially with the introduction of new chassis and engine rules in 2026. Albon expressed his happiness to continue working with Williams’ talented and dedicated team, stating that he believes in the long-term project and wants to play a key role in the team’s success. Williams’ team principal, James Vowles, praised Albon’s talent, technical contribution, and dedication, emphasizing that signing him long-term is a significant step towards improving the team’s competitiveness.
