George Russell’s passage from the Williams at Mercedes it inevitably prompted the Grove team to look for a replacement for the British driver for the season 2022finding it in the figure of Alex Albon. The Anglo-Thai, fresh from an experience in DTM, thus returns to Formula 1 after the two-year period 2019-2020, in which he had competed in the world championships at the wheel of Toro Rosso and Red Bull, only to continue 2021 as the third driver of the Milton Keynes team after losing the title role in the Circus.
Since then, Albon has set himself the main objective of returning to the starting grid for 2022, succeeding with the call-up of Williams: “I absolutely wanted to get back into Formula 1 – explained the 25 year old a racingnews365.com – and I believe I have really went out of their way to get a seat. 2021 was actually a busier year for me than any other year I’ve raced, which is strange enough to believe. But the will was never lacking. Of course, whether or not to get a job comes down to time and many other things. However, I know I did my best ”.
The main purpose set by Albon was therefore successful for the author of two career podiums in the Circus but, in the event of failure, they were still expected other options to be able to continue your business elsewhere: “Plan A was clearly to be back in F1 – he added – and I did it with Williams. However, there was also a plan B and C: I went in IndyCar to have a look and at the same time I talked to some teams in Formula E. Of course, these opportunities must be taken into consideration. The market is complicated, and various options must be kept open. Luckily – he concluded – in the second half of last season the plans went in the right direction thanks to some talks. For this reason, I would like to thank Christian Horner and Dr. Helmut Marko, but also Jost Capito and all of Williams, who made my wish come true ”.
