Another domino in the F1 driver market fell as Williams announced 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon will remain with the team for the foreseeable future having signed a m🙈ulti-year deal.

The identity of Albon’s teammate f🌺or 2025𓆉 is still unknown though.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Logan Sargeant’s poor form means ꦡit’s likely Williams wil🐽l be active in the driver market as they look to improve their line-up for next year.

Here’s who Williams could sign alongside Albon.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli

Andrea Kimi Antonelli is repo🉐rtedly the favourite to drive alongside Albon should Mercedes feel he’s not ready.

Antonelli is Mercedes’ hot young prospect, effectively their own 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen of the future.

The Italian has been linked with Williams on a regular basis, even reports suggesting he could make his F1 debut this weekenꦚd.

The FIA reported that they had received a request to hand Antonelli a super licence early, before he turꦿns 18, leading to speculation he could make his F1 debut 🔥at Imola.

That didn't 🐷materialise𒁏 as he focuses on his FIA Formula 2 campaign. 

Antonelli to Williams could be likely if Mercedes opt for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz, or Verstappen decides to jump ship from Red 🍬Bull.

Valtteri Bottas

A Williams reunion for168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Valtteri Bottas could be on the cards.

It appears that t♍he Finn has little hope of remaining𝓡 with Sauber/Audi with the team already signing Nico Hulkenberg.

Sauber have their e🦋yes on Sainz as th🔯eir number one choice, while the Alpine pair are also on Andreas Seidl’s wishlist.

Despite failing to score a🐷ny points in 2024 so far, Bottas’ performances for Sauber have been impres💖sive.

He’s unbeaten in qualifying against 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu and without some pit stop misfort👍🐼une, he’d have likely scored in at least two races.

A Bottas-Albon combination would give Williams an incredibly potent midfield line-up - something they’ve not had since Bottas was last in the team alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Felipe Massa in 2016.

Pierre Gasly

Another driver in the frame to join Williams potentially is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly.

According to Sky’s David Croft, Gasly💛 has held talks with Williams over a potential switch.

Given Alpine’s poor performanꦐce in 2024, Gasly might fancy a new challenge.

While Alpine is a works outfit, they’ve failed to deliver on that potential over the years𓃲.

Gasly could be tempted 🌟into a𓃲 switch to Grove, and given his age compared to Bottas, he could be a more appealing option for Williams.

Esteban Ocon

It’s a similar story for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon.

Alpine’s form leaves them vulnerable and Ocon is another ma♏jor p🍰layer on the driver market.

The Frenchman is also in the frame✅ to join Audi꧃ should they fail to sign Sainz.

Ocon has been one of the unsung heroes in 2024,🅠 performing at an incredibly higꦇh level.

For Williams, he’d be a great coup, particularly as he seems to excel i𒐪n underperforming machinery. 

Zhou Guanyu

Like teammate Bottas, Zhou is likely to be on the ma🔴rket.

The Chinese driver is🧸 reportedly a front-runner to replace Kevin Magnussen at Hꦐaas, potentially alongside Oliver Bearman.

While Zhou lacks the ultimate outright𝓰 pace, he's a steady performer on race day.

With financial backing be🎀hind him, he's a possible option, albeit an underwhelming one.
