"It’s not good for us," Alex Albon admits after latest damage to Williams
A downbeat Albon reacted to his incident in Japan to Sky: “It’s a shame. “Frustrating, and disappointing, for the whole team.“Obviously we’ve got a lot of damage over the past two weekends. It’s not good for us.At the previous round in Australia, Albon’s crash in practice caused Williams to make a controversial decision.
With no spare chassis available, they opted to remove his teammate Logan Sargeant from his car to allow Albon to race in the grand prix.Then in Japan practice, it was Sargeant’s turn to crash. He was ruled out of FP2. Even before Albon’s dramatic clash in the Japanese Grand Prix with Ricciardo, team boss James Vowles was forced to fend off questions about the number of incidents suffered by his drivers this season already.
“When you see the midfield at the moment, it's incredibly tight, what we are asking of the drivers is to be absolutely on the limit to get everything out of it,” Vowles insisted.Neither Albon nor Sargeant has a point in the F1 standings after four rounds of the season.
