Williams has made an announcement after Alex Albon's hefty practice crash in Australia...
Alex Albon heavily damaged his Williams in first practice in Melbourne, ahead of the Australian Grand Prix.
Albon put his car heavily in the wall during the first practice session at the Albert Park circuit, resulting in the red flags being shown to stop the session.The British-Thai driver lost control of his Williams FW46 as he negotiated his way through the high-speed Turn 6, the same corner at which he crashed out of last year’s Australian Grand Prix.
Bouncing off the concrete, Albon ended up crossing back over the track and then hitting the left-hand side of the walls lining the circuit before coming to a gradual stop.But while Albon escaped injury in the hefty crash, he will take no further action in Friday’s track time and is going to be forced to be a spectator for the hour-long second practice session due to the damage incurred to his car.
