Alex Albon has signed a multi-year contract extension with Williams, which will keep him at the team into Formula 1’s new regulation era when it kicks off in 2026....
Albon was also a contender for the Audi or Mercedes seat
No way, Audi is looking towards Albon as a contender. Sainz is a better option for both Audi and Merc. Alpine boys(mainly Gasly) are also looking to move, one of them could land at Audi.
Vowels could have helped with his promotion to Merc, but doesn’t look like there was much interest from Merc.
If Vowels and Albon bring Williams to top of the midfield and I belive these two are right people for this job. He might get called back to Red Bull to replace Perez in 2026 (maybe), because I don’t see another top drive for him in the near future .
Meanwhile, I am happy to see him at Williams with Vowels, hoping he gets a fair chance in a top team.
I’m just fed up with the quantum quantum parallel universe BS. Dark Matter looks a little bit more enjoyable at the moment, but definitely in precarious balance
I like the premise of parallel universes (the road not taken), but the pacing of Dark Matter is why I gave up on it. Its just slow to get to the point, no filler just padding the moments to get the episode to a 45-50 min runtime.
He could also be a strong candidate for a one-year stint with Merc until they get Kimi ready for the seat.
There is a perception that he has only raced against weak opponent(s) in Williams(Sargeant and Latifi). A year at Merc will certainly clear the doubts. Vowles could help him get in Merc and year against Russell could raise his stock even more.
I assumed Audi had its eye on him.
He is not young, I don’t think he can take a gamble on Audi getting the 2026 regs right and being front of the grid.
