Alex Albon is set to make history at Williams

It is absolutely wild to think that Alex Albon is about to etch his name into the history books. At the upcoming Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, Albon will surpass Nigel Mansell’s record of 95 Grands Prix to become the driver with the most race starts in Williams history.

Since joining the team in 2022, Albon has clearly evolved as both a driver and a person. He has been open about the difficult start Williams faced in this new era of Formula 1, which shifted their ambitions away from podiums, race wins, and championships. It is a reality check that clearly defines where the team stands right now.

Beyond the record, Albon also shared his perspective on his teammate Carlos Sainz, as well as the success of George Russell and Lando Norris, whom he competed against in the junior categories. It is a stunning milestone for a driver who has been at the center of the Williams project through some very challenging times.
