Formula 1: James Vowles Hails Alex Albon’s ‘outstanding’ 2025 Season
Albon has enjoyed a superb campaign, sitting eighth in the Drivers’ Championship with 70 points after scoring in 11 of the 18 races so far. His consistent form, including personal-best P5 finishes in Australia, Miami, Imola and the Netherlands, has propelled Williams to fifth place in the Constructors’ standings - a significant jump for the Grove-based outfit. By contrast, his new teammate Carlos Sainz, who joined from Ferrari with four career wins to his name, has scored 32 points this season.
Speaking on the Beyond The Grid podcast, Vowles reflected on Albon’s remarkable growth since joining the team. “I can tell you from the outset he was very quick, but he needed the right forum where the world isn’t questioning his teammates or what’s going on,” Vowles said.
