After playing a starring role in Canada, sealing six points for seventh place, Albon just missed out on the top 10 in Austria.
But the Anglo-Thai driver took another haul of points with eighth at the British GP to lift Williams above Alfa Romeo in the constructors' standings, delivering all of the Grove team's 11 points so far.
On a circuit that wasn't expected to be Williams' strongest track, Albon laid the basis for his top 10 finish with eighth place in qualifying.
But it wasn't Albon's Q3 performance, or his head-turning fourth place in Q2, that impressed Williams the most, but rather his calmness under pressure during a late red flag in Q1.
With just three minutes on the clock, Albon was stuck in 20th place after seeing his first lap time deleted, but he then salvaged a seventh-fastest lap of the session in slightly damp conditions.
"What impressed me about Alex particularly was how just utterly calm was, despite when the red flag came out in Q1 we weren't in a good position," said Williams Head of Vehicle Performance Dave Robson.
"We sent him out there to queue, you are losing tyre pressure, I'm pretty sure it's not the ideal way to start the lap but we had to get a clear lap in. And it was an exceptional lap, and that all started from him being totally calm, not panicked at all when the red flag came out.
"He was completely calm, completely relaxed, happy it was all under his control."
