The traditional Rennstall Williams has found a substitute for top talent George Russell and brings Alex Albon back to the formula 1. The 25-year-old receives a root cockpit in the premier class in 2022 after a year in the DTM, together with Canadian Nicholas Latifi (26) Albon forms the driver duo at Williams. That said the Englishman on Wednesday. Most recently, the German Nico Hülkenberg had also been granted small opportunities to the place in Williams.
Alex is one of the most exciting talents in motorsport, said the German Williams team boss Jost Capito: At the same time, he already brings a lot of experience from his time at Red Bull.
The racer with British and Thai roots has been promoted by Red Bull for years. In 2019, he initially debuted for the smaller team Toro Rosso in Formula 1, and in the course of the year he was promoted to Red Bull Racing.
The 2020 season played completely for the top team and drove twice at the podium twice. Afterwards Albon lost his cockpit at Red Bull to the Mexican Sergio Perez, but remained as a test and replacement driver at the racing team. In addition, he currently enters the Touring Care Series DTM.
