- Albon confirmed there is a difference between his contract and Sainz’s multi‑year deal.
- He said he wants “to see a reaction” from Williams and a strong bounce back before committing longer term.
- Albon highlighted multiple areas across the team that need addressing, not just the car’s on‑track performance.
- A one‑year extension gives Albon greater leverage to reassess his position if performance does not improve.
- Sainz’s multi‑year deal provides Williams with longer driver stability but reduces short‑term leverage to force team changes.
- The split could influence internal dynamics as the team prepares upgrades and seeks better results.
