Williams driver Alex Albon has been disqualified from Qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix after his floor body failed technical checks.
Albon had qualified eighth at Zandvoort on Saturday but will now start at the back of the grid with team-mate Logan Sargeant, who did not compete in Qualifying due to a heavy crash in final practice. Williams brought upgrades to this weekend's F1 event in the Netherlands and it is possible these developments are the reason the car does not comply with the regulations.
' Albon's disqualification comes after Williams team-mate Sargeant crashed into the barrier at Turn Four during final practice on Saturday morning after spinning off the wet grass. The American - who will be replaced at Williams from 2025 onwards by Carlos Sainz - escaped unharmed after his car caught fire but his team were unable to get the vehicle ready in time for Qualifying.
