Williams sem um chassi extra, então Sargeant cede seu carro para Albon.

The team announced that Albon’s damaged car has been removed and will be returned to the factory in Grove, England, for repairs. Due to the unavailability of a third chassis, the team has decided that Alex will continue to compete for the rest of the weekend in the chassis previously driven by Logan Sargeant in FP1 and FP2, according to Williams.

Sargeant, who scored only one point in his rookie season last year, while Albon’s 27 points helped Williams secure seventh place overall, acknowledged the difficulty of the situation. In a statement, the 23-year-old American expressed: “This is the most challenging moment of my career and certainly not easy. However, I am fully committed to the team and will contribute in every way possible this weekend to maximize our performance.”

Team director James Vowles expressed gratitude to Sargeant for his understanding, stating: “It is unacceptable in today’s Formula 1 to not have a spare chassis, but this reflects the deficiencies we faced during the winter period. This highlights the need for significant changes to put us in a better position for the future. Consequently, we had to make some very tough decisions this afternoon. Although it is unfair for Logan to suffer because of a mistake he did not make, every race is crucial in a highly competitive midfield. Therefore, we made the decision based on our best chance of scoring points this weekend.”

Albon’s accident resulted in a red flag during the first session, as the Thai driver lost control and collided with the barrier at turn six, subsequently damaging both sides of his car upon hitting the opposite barrier. Fortunately, Albon emerged unscathed. He admitted: “I must be completely honest and say that no driver would willingly give up their seat. I would never want something like this to happen. Logan has always been a consummate professional and a team player from day one, and this will undoubtedly be a tough situation for him,” Albon added. (Reported by Alan Baldwin)
