Alex Albon Eager to Exit Williams Deal After Failed Bids from Rival F1 Teams.

According to the News, two teams have tried to get the highly-rated Alex Albon out of his current Williams deal to drive for them last season but failed in their bids. 

In 2023, Alex Albon proved as a standout performer for the Williams team. In 2023, Albon ended the season thirteenth in the Drivers’ Championship. He scored 27 points to Sargeant’s one point, securing Williams seventh place in the Constructors’ Championship.

According to sources who spoke with ESPN, two teams made unsuccessful attempts to have Albon back out of his contract to drive for them last year, and numerous are keeping an eye on his circumstances as they make future plans.

The 27-year-old driver is under contract with the Williams team till 2025. But with the 2023 season under his belt in which the driver has caught the limelight from other team’s is now willing to leave the Williams team.

In any case, the former Red Bull star is being monitored by several teams going forward and another impressive year for him could well lead to a move.

After just 12 races for sister team Toro Rosso, the British-Thai was promoted to the Red Bull senior team. However, he was replaced 18 months later due to his inability to match colleague Max Verstappen’s performance standards. 


Albon returned to Red Bull in a reserve role for the 2021 season when Sergio Perez won his seat, and he was able to secure a full-time driving with Williams the following year. 

After rebuilding his reputation with two strong seasons with Williams, when he was one of the F1 outstanding performances, Albon’s stock has never been stronger. 

As for where he could go, Mercedes and McLaren have both locked in their line-ups for next season and while there could be a vacancy alongside Max Verstappen, it seems unlikely Albon will want to go back to Red Bull after two difficult seasons alongside the Dutchman.
