Alex Albon to stay with Williams for 2027 F1 season
- London-born driver Alex Albon has signed a one-year contract extension with Williams to remain with the team for a sixth season.
- The extension was confirmed ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix as Formula One returns from its summer shutdown.
- Williams has endured a challenging 2026 season with an overweight car, sitting above only Aston Martin and Cadillac in the constructors’ championship.
- Albon has scored just five points so far this year, while teammate Carlos Sainz has six points and remains out of contract at the end of the season.
- Team principal James Vowles and Albon both expressed strong confidence in continuing the team’s ongoing transformation project despite recent struggles.
