Albon says 2023 was his strongest season in F1

Alex Albon says that 2023 was the strongest season to date of his Formula 1 career after he helped to steer Williams to seventh in the world championship.

Albon logged all but one of the team's 28 points, making the top 10 seven times in grands prix, and also scoring in a sprint race.

He started in the top six at Zandvoort, Monza and Las Vegas, and his only real mistake came when he spun off in Australia, although first lap incidents in Japan and Brazil were also costly.

He frequently took advantage of the car's good straightline speed to successfully defend his position from potentially faster cars.

"I'm very proud of my performance," said Albon. "I'm not the most arrogant person I would say, but I will give myself credit, I feel like I've had a very strong season.

"I felt like most of my races haven't been simple, there have been races where we've been fighting, fighting, fighting the whole time.

"But I enjoy it. I feel that's the environment that I that I thrive in. For me, it's been my strongest year in F1. That connection that I have with the team has really helped that. I feel like that's where we've been able to execute everything we've done so well."

Albon acknowledged that the form of the car was inconsistent, with low downforce tracks inevitably favouring it. However, he insisted that the team always extracted the best performance from on a given weekend.
