Alex Albon is heading into his fourth season with Williams, having joined the team from Red Bull prior to the 2022 season.
The British-Thai driver enjoyed a promising 2023 season and finished 13th in the standings, but 2024 was a tougher year for the Grove-based team. Albon accrued only 12 points, finishing sixth.
Carlos Sainz, meanwhile, joins the team this year from Ferrari after Lewis Hamilton’s blockbuster move to the Scuderia!
The Spaniard is a four-time race winner and was the only non-Red Bull driver to win a race in 2023.
Sainz won his first F1 grand prix at Silverstone in 2022 and won last year in Australia and Mexico.
