• Alex Albon will continue racing for Atlassian Williams F1 Team in 2027, extending his long-term commitment to the team
• The Thai driver has been a centrepiece of Williams’ comeback project since 2022, helping the team to its best finish since 2016 last year
• New deal comes after Alex set a new benchmark of 100 races for Williams in Budapest
• Alex Albon: “Our story is not over yet, so my full focus now is on doing whatever it takes to get us back up the grid.”
Atlassian Williams F1 Team today confirms that Alex Albon will continue racing with the team in 2027, reaffirming his commitment to returning Williams to winning ways.

Since joining Williams in 2022, Alex has been a key leader in transforming the team both on and off track and this extension is a clear signal of belief from both sides in the long-term progress being made at Grove despite a challenging 2026.

The 30-year-old’s fierce racecraft and intelligent approach have delivered some standout results, with a string of fifth-place finishes last season helping him to P8 in the Championship with 73 points as Williams enjoyed its best campaign since 2016. He has been a driving force of change back at Grove as Williams has embarked on a full rebuilding project – investing in the people, tools, technology and processes needed to challenge at the front of the grid.

The renewed commitment comes after the Thai etched his name into the Williams history books by becoming the driver with the most race starts for the team. In Barcelona, Alex’s 96th race start saw him overtake Nigel Mansell’s long-standing record, before he went on to make his 100th start for Williams in Budapest.

Now Alex and Williams are looking forward to extending that legacy as the team approaches its 50th anniversary next year in 2027.
