Alex Albon is targeting a points finish in Melbourne to "payback" Williams F1 teammate Logan Sargeant.
Williams made a controversial call to give Sargeant’s chassis to Albon after the latter caused irreparable damage to his car in a huge crash during first practice and it emerged the team did not have a spare in Melbourne.
With Williams effectively opting to sacrifice Sargeant’s weekend, Albon is determined to repay his American teammate, who he described as being a “true gentleman”. "We chat, we always chat, 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 teammate’s car, Albon replied: “A different feeling, a weird feeling, if I'm honest.
“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.
