Williams confirms Alex Albon for 2027 season

Williams has announced that Alex Albon will continue with the team in the 2027 Formula 1 season. Reports from several outlets said he has agreed a new deal described as a contract extension.

The move means Albon is set to race for Williams for a sixth season in Formula 1 with the team, having joined ahead of the 2022 campaign. BBC Sport reported the extension is for one year, while other outlets described it as short-term.

Autosport and Motorsport.com noted that Albon had been among the drivers whose contracts were due to expire at the end of this year, with speculation around his future and that of team-mate Carlos Sainz. Williams' announcement now confirms Albon will stay on its line-up for 2027.
