Alex Albon Extends Contract with Williams for 2027 Season
Alex Albon will remain with Williams for the 2027 season after signing a one-year contract extension. The Britain-born Thai driver has been with Williams since 2022 and is the longest-serving driver in the team's history.
Albon considered his future following a downturn in Williams’ performance this season, which came after a surprising fifth-place finish in the championship in 2025. At 30 years old, Albon expressed his motivation to continue building with the team, stating, “Our story is not over yet.” Williams team principal James Vowles has been focused on transforming the team since his arrival in early 2023, although they currently sit ninth in the championship after 11 races this season.
Albon's decision to stay reflects a lack of options with the top four teams and a desire to trust in the changes being implemented at Williams. Vowles praised Albon as a leader in their transformation project, emphasizing the unfinished business they aim to achieve together.
