Alex Albon has explained a notable difference between his contract extension announcement and that of team-mate Carlos Sainz.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Williams confirmed that it would retain its current line-up for the 2027 campaign, with the declarations coming one day apart.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Albon’s extension stated that he would remain for 2027, while Sainz’s press release highlighted a multi-year stay.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Williams has endured a challenging campaign thus far, slipping down the order compared to its position last season.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Albon has stated he is keen to see a tangible shift from the struggles it has endured this year before committing further.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cOn my side, I want to see a reaction,\u201d Albon told media including RacingNews365.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see what the team can deliver. I want to see a strong bounce back from this year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talk about the performance of the car, but there has been a lot of areas as a team that we haven’t delivered on.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it’s the quality of the car or the weight… but missing testing, there are a few things this year that we’ve let slip.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Albon has been part of Williams for several years, joining in 2022 following a season on the sidelines.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Having endured various ups and downs with the Grove-based since his arrival, Albon insisted there are still a number of issues that need rectifying.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI know JV [James Vowles, team principal] and everyone at the team is doing a huge effort to correct these issues.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it’s not just one single thing, this year, it’s been quite a few things.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s still work that needs to be done.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex Albon has explained a notable difference between his contract extension announcement and that of team-mate Carlos Sainz.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":874168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-874167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=874167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/874168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=874167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=874167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=874167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
