Atlassian Williams Racing Formula One Team Principal James Vowles says it was such an incredible feeling after Alex Albon scored s top ten finish in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit on Sunday.
Albon started the race in 6th and came home in fifth, giving the Grove-based outfit ten points.
Speaking following the race, Vowles said:
What an incredible feeling! We reflect on where we were twelve months ago and it’s just a world of difference. Well done to Alex – a solid drive from start to finish, defending against really great drivers behind him and didn’t put a foot wrong. In the case of Carlos, it was tricky conditions out there, but we can see that as he did an upshift at a difficult time, on a difficult part of the track, the car spun. We need to look at that all together as clearly, we could have two cars in the points today. I’m unbelievably proud of this team and I can’t wait to get to Shanghai in just a few days. I’m looking forward to what we can do across the remainder of the season.
