Alexander Albon: Returns to top 10
Albon finished ninth in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix F1 race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday.
Analysis:
Albon failed to reach Q3 for the second consecutive grand prix, missing out by only seven thousandths of a second. However, he made up ground with sound strategy and good teamwork on race day. Albon ran a relatively long first stint on a medium set of tires and then connected with Carlos Sainz Jr. to maintain DRS and fend off a challenge from Isack Hadjar. The duo scored double points for Williams in an excellent day for the team, and Albon has now secured points in four of five races this season.
