Alex Albon Contract: Williams Makes Announcement Ahead of F1 Return
The extension keeps Albon with Williams for a sixth season as the team backs his performances and long-term project, officials said.
- On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, Williams announced Alexander Albon will remain with the Formula 1 team for the 2027 season, extending his contract with the Grove-based outfit.
- Since joining in 2022, Albon became the team's most tenured driver earlier this year, crossing the 100-race mark for the squad at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
