Among the protagonists of the Italian Grand Prix was Alex Albon, who crossed the finish line in seventh place after starting from fourteenth position. Another solid result for the Thai driver, who continues to prove himself a reliable asset for Williams.
Never underperforming, except for a few minor issues
Albon got off to a good start in Melbourne, where he finished fifth. Since then, only a few technical problems have prevented him from consistently finishing in the points. Out of sixteen races, he has only failed to score points in five. This is a more than positive result, considering the disappointing season of his teammate, Carlos Sainz (who has only scored points in six out of 16 races and has always finished below fifth place).
Williams is currently fifth in the constructors' standings with 86 points. In the drivers' standings, Albon has scored 70 points. These figures leave no room for doubt: without the Thai driver, the Grove-based team would find itself at the back of the pack.
A sparkling return to the track
After the summer break, Formula 1 made stops in the Netherlands and Italy. On both occasions, Albon proved to be fast and competitive: Saturday at Monza was not brilliant, with both Williams cars out of Q3. But in the race, the Thai driver always manages to impress, quickly recovering positions. Whether it's thanks to the right strategies or his clearly visible feeling with the car, Albon proves to be solid and reliable.
"We had a fantastic strategy and great pace in the car. I would say it was one of the most balanced Sundays I've had all year. In many parts of the race, we were as fast as the leading teams, so it was a great comeback after a tough qualifying session" Albon admitted after the Monza race.
A certainty at the heart of the grid
Without fanfare, Albon is having a starring season. You don't have to be on the podium every Sunday to make your mark: sometimes tenacity and perseverance are praised even if you are far from the top. The Thai driver embodies all this - and that is precisely why Williams can dream big today.
