Albon previously spent a season-and-a-half with Red Bull in 2019 and 2020 before being dropped to a reserve role in favor of Sergio Perez. He returned to a race seat with Williams in 2022 and secured a long-term deal with the team after scoring four points last season. In the current 2023 season, Albon has already achieved two points finishes, including a seventh-place finish in Canada.
As the future of Carlos Sainz at Ferrari remains uncertain, the team continues to explore potential alternatives, with Alex Albon emerging as a strong contender for the coveted seat alongside Charles Leclerc.
