"I won't say what teams that I was speaking to, but there were a few,” Albon disclosed. “Inevitably, it just fell down to what team do I think suited me best and that was Williams." "So, looking at everything, there was obviously a lot of time to make a choice. It does seem a little bit now like it's all just kind of being a bit of a waiting game and everyone just kind of delaying, delaying and whatnot. So, on my side, it was just about get it done, get it signed and focus more on building the story and focusing on the future for the team.”
Amidst structural and strategic transformations at Williams under the leadership of Vowles, the team principal, Albon recognized the potential for significant progression. “I believe in the project. I believe in James and the board," he stated, “I believe my role here with the team is not just being a racing driver. It's much more than that.”
