The Williams Formula 1 team is now in a race to get Alex Albon’s crashed chassis back to the UK and repaired in time for the next race in Japan.
The team does not currently have a spare chassis, so following the Thai driver’s huge crash in FP1 in Australia on Friday the decision was taken to switch him to Logan Sargeant’s car, leaving the American on the sidelines. Team principal James Vowles has confirmed that the third chassis is still so far behind schedule that rather than fast track its completion the team will instead repair the crashed tub.
