Albon backs Williams despite difficult 2026 season
Alex Albon says he believes Williams can recover from its challenging 2026 campaign after recently signing a contract extension. The team has also faced criticism after struggling to match the expectations it set during 2025.
Alex Albon has backed Williams to recover from a difficult 2026 Formula 1 season. His support comes shortly after he signed a contract extension with the team.
Williams had made bold claims during 2025, but it has struggled in 2026. According to Motorsport.com, the team arrived at pre-season testing in Bahrain on the back foot after missing private testing in Barcelona.
The team's season has also drawn criticism from broadcaster Will Buxton, who said Williams had been "overpromising and underdelivering" in 2026. Buxton also said he was surprised Carlos Sainz chose to sign with Williams rather than Audi.
