Alex Albon, who has been a Williams driver since 2022, had many supportive things to say about his teammate from part of the 2024 season, Franco Colapinto. The Thai driver talked about how his Argentine teammate's crashes in the season shouldn't be held against him. He also said how the F1 rookie did a good job with the tools he had and the situations he was put in.
Albon also commented on how the car had changed towards the end of the season, which also contributed towards Colapinto and his own performances. Colapinto also suffered from crashes in Brazil and in Las Vegas, which may have affected his chances to secure a 2025 seat. However, according to Albon, it shouldn't be something that eclipses the 21-year-old's work this season.
"I think it really goes in tandem with the performance of the car, and it became tricky at the end of the season. It was tricky for me. I didn't have a fantastic end of the season, and I don't always just blame myself, so I think the team knows how good he is," Alex Albon said via Motosport.
