Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Williams driver Alex Albon predicts when the team should end up fighting for race wins — a goal that is well within reach, according to the Thai-British driver. Since the arrival of team principal James Vowles, Williams has faced higher expectations and a raised profile. Vowles has bestowed belief in the team again — pushing the team to keep building and improving with the hope of becoming a top team. The Grove-based racing team went through years at the bottom of the table. They were a backmarker team that felt lucky to score a point during a race. Alexander Albon of Thailand and Williams looks on prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 06, 2025 in Northampton, England. Alexander Albon of Thailand and Williams looks on prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 06, 2025 in Northampton, the team is a regular point-scoring team and features a strong driver lineup of Albon and Carlos Sainz. Vowels' transformation of Williams is inspiring Albon to dream big for the future. "We are a very different team to a top team at the moment," Albon told the BBC. "We're still on a journey to get there, and we talk very openly about the journey and our weaknesses as a team. "I don't think we are, in all areas, at the maximum of our potential, and that's regarding the car performance. That's everything that goes on behind the scenes, the performance, the engineering. "I don't think next year we're going to be in a position to fight for wins, and I think it will be very rare to get a chance at podiums, but that's my mindset, that's our mindset. "2027 will be an interesting year, and then realistically, I know this sounds really far away, but 2028 is kind of where I expect us to be, up at the front end. I think that's realistic." Williams hopes to make a significant step in 2026 when the new engine regulations are introduced. Mercedes power units power the British team — giving the team hope for the coming seasons. Mercedes is known for producing amazing engines when a new formula is adopted. Williams also brought in massive changes to its technical staff, that are improving the team's aerodynamic capabilities. It has been decades since the team last fought for a world championship, and with Vowles at the helm, Albon believes it is only a matter of time before the team gets back to the top step.

Alex Albon Frustrated with Williams' 'Compromise' in British GP Qualifying
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Williams driver Alex Albon has revealed his frustration after he qualified P14 for Sunday's British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Albon believes his FW47 car is fast enough to help him secure a top ten finish, but a "compromise" in qualifying resulted in the setback. The Thai-British driver noted improvements in the car, hence the bold claim of it being capable of being in the top 10. However, he hinted that his team needs to improve its strategy to help him and Carlos Sainz secure faster lap times, since it wasn't ready for his second Q2 run today. Speaking to the media after qualifying, Albon said: "I think internally we need to review what went on there because we put on a set of tires when Franco crashed, and then we went out on track when it was quite clear it was gonna be a red flag, so we ended up basically wasting a set in qualifying. "We went into Q2, run one on a new set of tires. To this point we're looking good, we're feeling good, and then I actually do a pretty good lap on the Q2 run one considering it's used tires, and then we go into Q2 run two and we then go out kind of at the very front of the pack, where Max is, and Max's outlap is about 15–20 seconds a lap slower than ours.

Alexander Albon of Thailand and Williams answers questions in the TV media pen during qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 5, 2025 in Northampton, United Kingdom. More"So we then do Q2 run 2 on our final new set, basically not even close to being ready. Q2 was honestly compromised, let's say that. "So, we need to review what we... we generally do go on the early side in qualifying. We like to go on the early side. Today was too much. We need to understand why we like to go so early all the time." Elaborating on his frustration, Albon added: "We've been quick all weekend, and we were quick in Q1. We were quick in Q2 run one. And then it's like yeah, P14, very frustrating." Albon then highlighted the improvements on the car, but emphasized that there was scope for improvement. He said: "I think even just this qualifying session is highlighting that we're going to have a quicker car. We're going to be more competitive. Our car is getting faster and faster, and we need to make sure that we use it. "We're obviously falling down a little bit in terms of the updates and upgrades from other cars, but we still should have a car that's in Q3 today — or possibly two — and in many ways, we feel like we let ourselves down. "I think on my side as well, I'm not saying I'm happy with my job in Q2, but we don't make it easy when we create these situations like we did in Q2. So yes, we're always improving, we're always analyzing. "I think, as Williams go, I think we're some of the most self-critical, focusing on ourselves and really trying to improve these areas. So in that sense, I know we're going to get there. "It's just that days like today, and the last couple of weeks, just highlight still some areas to improve." Sainz went on to secure P11 in qualifying, but a 10-place grid penalty for Oliver Bearman could mean that the Spaniard could start the race in P10 and Albon in P13.
