168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon has signed a new multi-year F1 con༒tract extension to remain with Williams beyond💙 2026.

The team confirmed the news on Wednesday ahead♐ of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Albon’s long term Williams future was uncertain amid speculation that the Thai driver could make a return to 🔴Red Bull in the future.

Albon has enjoyed a new lease 🔯of life since joining Williams in 2022, helping guide the team to an impressive P7 in the constructors’ championship.

Adopting a new car philosophy, Williams have slipped baꦚck from points contention, failing to register a top 10 finish so far in 2024.

It means Albon will head Williams’ charge for the new technical regꦆulations which are introduced in 2026.

"I am incredibly happy to be remaining with Williams Racing and to continue working with such a talented and dedicated team of people,” he said. “It has been a difficult start to the year but since joining Williams we have made signific꧑ant progress together and I have seen the huge changes happening behind the scenes to take us back to the fro🅰nt 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 contra༒ct.

“The journey will take time but I am confident we are building the right team to move forward and achievꦜe great things in the 𒈔years to come.”

Williams boss James Vowles added: “We are delighted to secure Alex's long-term future with Will💙iams Racing. 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 𒈔him for the long-term is a big piece of the puzzle of moving us up the grid.”

The identity of Albon’s teammate for 2025 is still unclear amid 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Logan Sargeant’s poor form.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli is a potential option should Mercedes feel that he’s not ready, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas have also been linked.
