168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon feels scoring points in the Australian Grand Prix would be the best way to “payback” Williams F1 teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Logan Sargeant.

Williams made a controversial call to give Sargeant’s chassis to Albon after the lat💜ter caused irreparable damag𝓀e to his car in a huge crash during first practice and it emerged the team did not have a spare in Melbourne.

Albon went on to qualify 12th for Sunday’s grand prix, two places outside of the points and behind Mercedes’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.

With Williams effectively opting to sacrifice Sargeant’s weekend, Albon is determined to repa✨y hiಌs American teammate, who he described as being a “true gentleman”.

"He's been a trueღ gentleman, he's been a true team player in this whole situation," Albon said of Sargeant.

"We chat, we always c𝔉hat, we're very open as a♋ team. I was helping him in FP2 and when the decision was made he was helping me.”

Asked what it was like taking his teammatꦿe’s car, Albon replied: “A different feeling, a weird feeling, if I'm honest.

"It's one thing making a mistake and the pressure of trying to delive♚r a performance in qualifying, but it's another feeling when you've been given responsibility, and I take that responsibility, it's not lost on me.

“❀So yeah, it was tough. But at the same time the only thing you can do is focus on your job and put it all behind you and treat the weekend like a normal💎 weekend.

"We're obv🐼iously a session down but generally that's all I can really do, and so far we've done a good job, and just got to keep it going, and the ultimate kind of payback🐎 to Logan would be some points.”

Williams team principal James Vowles explained the reason to favour Albon was because they feel the British-born Thai racer presents the team’s best chance of♚ scoring points in Melbourne.

Williams are also set to be without a spare chassis at the next race in Japan in two week🐼s t♚ime.
