While the back-end of Albon’s campaign trailed off – the 29-year-old scored only 19 points in the final 10 rounds after 54 in the opening 14 – his fingerprints were all over Williams being a nailed-on top-five team all year, a quartet of fifth-place results propelling him inside the top 10 of the standings for the first time since 2020.
Seeing Carlos Sainz snare two podiums after Albon had toiled for four years without one could have left him with lament, but he was quick to accentuate the positives. “When you have a teammate who’s a step up, you learn more,” Albon said.
