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 h𒀰aving signed a multi-year deal.

The identity of Albon’s teamma꧃te for 2025 is sℱtill unknown though.

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

Here’s who Williams could sign alongside Albon.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli

Andrea Kimi Anton🤡elli is reportedly 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 bꦰeen linked with Williams on a regular basis, even reports suggesting he could make his F1 debut ꧃this weekend.

The FIA reported that they had receive๊d a request to hand Antonelli𒅌 a super licence early, before he turns 18, leading to speculation he could make his F1 debut at Imola.

That didn't materialise as he focuses o🌃n 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 Verstappenꦉ decides to jum🐈p 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 the Finn has little hope𒊎 o𒐪f remaining with Sauber/Audi with the team already signing Nico Hulkenberg.

Sauber have their eyes on Sainz as their number one choice, while th🧔e Alpine pair are also on Andreas Seidl’s wishlist.

Despite faili🌌ng to score any poi🌠nts in 2024 so far, Bottas’ performances for Sauber have been impressive.

He’s unbeaten in qualifying against 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu and without some pit stop misfortune, he’d have likely scored in a🌊t ꦰleast 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 perfor🌳mance in 2024, Gasly might fancy a new challe𒆙nge.

While Alpine is a worไks 🧜outfit, they’ve failed to deliver on that potential over the years.

Gasly coul🍒d be tempted into a 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 le💖aves them vulnerable and Ocon is another major player on the ඣdriver market.

The Frenchman is also in꧃ the frame to joi🌠n Audi should they fail to sign Sainz.

Ocon has been one of the unsung heroes in 2024,🎶 performi♛ng at an incredibly high level.

Fo൲r Williams, he’d be a great coup, particularly as he seems to excel🐓 in underperforming machinery. 

Zhou Guanyu

Like 🅷teammate Bottas, Zhou is likely to be on the market.

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

While Zhou lacks the ultimꦕate outright pace, he's a ꧑steady performer on race day.

With financial backing behind him, he's a possible option, albeit an☂ underwhel🐓ming one.
