Albon: My F1 future is at Williams, not Red Bull

Alex Albon insists his focus is on a long-term future with Williams in Formula 1, rather than chasing a return to Red Bull.

The Thai driver has put himself back in the spotlight after some impressive drives for Williams this season, including a brilliantly executed seventh place in Canada as he held off intense pressure from chasing cars.

That performance earned him the F1 Driver of the Day Award, which is voted for by fans.

Having also been singled out for praise from his former Red Bull boss Christian Horner over his form, there has inevitably been talk that he could earn himself a comeback to the team that dropped him from a race seat at the end of 2020.

However, Albon has made it clear that he is revelling in his life at Williams right now and has no desire to be racing anywhere else.

Asked if he could see himself returning to Red Bull, Albon said: “Truthfully, I think you see it already now, where my main focus is with this team.

“You can see this isn't a short-term situation. I am here for the long run. And I'm really enjoying working with the team, being where I am.

“I do feel like we are on a journey. I do want to continue this journey. Let's see how these next few years unfold, but for now, I am very happy where I am.”

Albon says that Horner’s positive comments after Canada were not out of the ordinary, as he said that his former boss had been in regular contact.
