The Importance of Alex Albon

[@kondjanegongo796]

100% agree Alex is a major player in 2024....Its funy how Alex is not even mentioned when Perez seat is being discussed. DR hasnt exactly lit up the time sheets and it getting smoked by Yuki. Alex contract is up and has shown he is still fast and not on Max level to upset him and he is a known entity. I think next year might damage Alex stock though... the Racing Bulls (or whatever) are gonna have a RB19-B and i doubt Williams will compete with them... and if Aston, RB, Ferrari, Mercedes and Mclaren stay where they are... Alex's points will be few and far between

Alex Albon's future is extremely bright with Williams. Let's go back to the glory days

MAKE WILLIAMS GREAT, AGAIN

[@cassandrarose11]

I agree! 💯 Make Williams Great Again!

[@worfoz]

@@cassandrarose11 Make will! I am great: a gain indeed!

[@Axel-ki1nr]

As much as I want them to get good again and the momentum is im their favour, we shouldn't get too carried away from a 7th position in the constructors imo

[@Emarq31]

No but like, if they do get to being a Top 3 team, Albon and Vowles combo will be seen as the saviors. Which will be very cool and such a last laugh for Albon.

[@TheSt1092]

No fan should dislike Alex.

[@LawVS]

There's no reason to really.

[@_JimS]

I feel Alex is a great fit at Williams and the team is finally making real gains, he's not going anywhere.

[@LawVS]

He's a great fit because the team definition was so loose. With James there and a clear goal it's even better.

[@dirtyeggo]

You still alive?

[@Mattofthevalley]

If i was in vowles shoes, I would be throwing money at Albon to stay and build the team around him.

[@LawVS]

I reckon he's probably having talks right now.

[@Mattofthevalley]

@@LawVS will be interesting to see how their Acadamy drivers get on in F2. Both Zak and Franco look like solid up and comers in the Williams Academy

[@rybuds47]

The driver and team being reborn is inspiring and i hope they can make the next step in performance.

[@LawVS]

It really is. I'm so pleased that the team has direction after all these years.

[@sanguinor5609]

As a Williams fan Albono is perfect for the team. It’s the perfect redemption arc.

[@MrDragonballzjp]

Alex is so valuable for the team. I expect him staying there for a while.

[@LawVS]

Me too.

[@phonebem]

The part you mentioned about the brain drain at the top is an effect of the cost cap that most people don't consider. I think it's a big part of why the field (non Red Bull category) was tighter than it's been in years. In the past the top teams could afford to hoard talent leaving the more marginal people for the lower teams; now the personnel hit their pay ceilings at the top teams and, as you said, take higher paying positions at lower teams. I really think this will be a rare example of the FIA actually doing something right.

[@LawVS]

Very true. Ferrari farmed out some of their talent to Haas and based them near Modena to ensure cooperation. Hence why Simone Resta is the Haas TD.

[@helenballinger15]

I love Alex- supported him since his first season in 2019. So I have supported him through all his high and low moments. I remember how tough his low moment was losing his seat at Red Bull but despite all the hardships, he has really persevered and found a nice home at Williams and is now thriving. ❤ i am here continuing to support him all the way 😊❤

[@LawVS]

I'm happy for him and how he can help redefine a classic team.

[@vinster8884]

Alex is doing a great job helping Williams develop the car. He did a great job developing the RB19 through the sim. Too bad he doesn't drive the actual car.

[@LawVS]

Yeah but that insight will be valuable into how the team can rebuild.

[@ccramit]

James Vowles and Alex Albon proved you don't need to be abrasive a-holes to make gains on the grid. I love Alex and he put in a lot of work last year, but I think James was what moved the needle so far for Williams in 2023. Not taking anything away from Alex, he's my favorite driver by far.

[@LawVS]

Yep. The team are straight up paragons.

[@caloucalai]

So happy for Alex that Williams is appreciating him!

[@donbert]

Hopefully Alex had a good performance bonus clause like Kimi did for Lotus. €50k per point x 27 points = €1.35M? Not quite Kimi’s bankruptcy enduring 390 points (19.5M) but a 45% increase over his reported €3M. Add to that maybe an additional bonus for ever constructor standing and he could be doing okay this year. I’m sure everyone on the team loves him all the more because they all probably have a performance bonus in their contracts too. A nice drama free co-worker who also got everyone a bonus? It’s like the opposite of how everyone must feel about Lance Stroll over at Aston Martin…😂

[@LawVS]

I don't think Williams would go that far. They need to save money, not bankrupt themselves. 🙃

[@donbert]

Dorilton capital might take the Bankruptcy risk if the devil offered them a bargain of Alex scoring 390 points. That would put him 2nd in the driver standings and at least 4th in the constructors (probably higher since the points would have to come out of the other teams). Even without the added prize money that would cover bonus amount the added value of the team when they eventually sell (or even if they just kept and used as collateral) would be worth it. 😂

[@AirflowToTheTurbo]

From the recent interviews he's done, it sounds to me like Alex is committed to staying at Williams. With Vowles at the helm, that team is on the up and up. There's this false, Drive To Survive inspired feeling that Williams are the worst team out there, but more informed folks know the truth is Williams were a solid midfield team as recently as 2016/2017, before Massa left. They were regularly finishing races in the top ten. They're a legendary team who most long time F1 fans adore. To be one of the guys that brings them back towards the top is a great position to be in. I think Alex knows this and will stay with them for quite a while. Vowles and Albon will be Williams ultimate saviours, I think. I'm excited for their future.

[@LawVS]

That's exactly it. The mood there is incredibly positive and Alex is the undisputed leader. Why would he leave something so good? I'd say if Williams fumble 2026 is the earliest he could consider moving.

[@rvx5818]

I love your content. I agree that Alex Albon is a credit to the Williams team, and I especially agree that James Vowels was just the type of leader the team needed. That said, however, I think that having a teammate like Alex would make it hard for a rookie like Logan to compare. I know there's been a lot said about Logan too and the perceived "he's done nothing" speech, but with a team mate like Alex and a rookie like Oscar Piastri, cmon, the competition is tough! I still appreciate your other video about Logan too btw ♥

@@LawVS Please keep going to the plan. You are getting better and better with each release. Great content. Thank you👍

[@blakecapon4627]

I think that Williams keeping Sargeant is a brilliant financial decision. Let him develop his skills over the time until Andretti are in the sport, and get a nice deal passing over an experienced American driver to head up their infant team. It's a win, win for everyone in my books.

[@LawVS]

That's one way to look at it yes. If they wanna keep Albon they will need to spend more to do so...but making a car less likely to cause major crashes will help too!

[@anja2792]

The only scenario I think that would make sense at all for Albon to move from Williams is if a new team wants him to come in as their lead driver. I think he stays at Williams.

[@LawVS]

Absolutely. He shouldn't settle for anything less.

Wow everyone loves this guy

[@LawVS]

Because he's so amiable and a true underdog.

[@enp57]

I really hope Alex has a chance in a top tier team bc he has the potential to be a champion for sure

[@LawVS]

Who's to say that Alex won't be driving for a top team in 2026?

[@enp57]

Yeah could very well happen, especially if he keeps the same form he had this season. My prediction is that in 2026 he'll be driving in either ferrari or aston martin so the possibility is there

[@LeonardoAld]

If they keep improving like this, Williams could be a championship winning team by 2028, or so

[@enp57]

Also true but I don't think Alex will stay there for that long unless they manage a brilliant result in the next 2 seasons

[@spacemanmonster23]

Okay this is awesome!

[@leondominos8332]

I hope Albon will at least get a podium next season

[@LawVS]

I think that's a little stretch. Maybe some Top 5 finishes.

[@heydude23001]

It would only happen in a crazy weather affected race like Hungary 2021. I could see Alex hit P5/P6 a couple times. He was running P6 in Canada this season but crashed out. A podium isn't impossible but Williams car would need a lot of circumstances and top team cars to DNF for it to happen.

[@LuteFrontier]

LawVS should drive for Williams

[@StarFox85]

He will win races !

[@LawVS]

He will certainly be a golden signing for Williams.

[@16BitJay]

I think Alex is a really good fit for Williams, and hopefully they are on an upward trajectory with James Vowles that Alex staying there will reward him.

[@LawVS]

Everything seems so much more optimistic these days.

[@rossrreyes]

He’s the most modest unassuming person; I met him in a small cafe in Los Angeles eating with his girlfriend in a tshirt and sneakers

[@ProgramKiraTV]

I love Alex, one of my favorite drivers on the grid. If he goes anywhere, I think Aston Martin is a great fit. Replace Lance Stroll and have Alonso+Albon

[@LawVS]

It's a possible alternative so long as Fernando plays ball

[@teamredgutz399]

I agree that I think Willams is the best place for Alex especially if Dorilton stays put infusing money into it and if James Vowles stays as team principal. That team is going places and it’s attracting talent. Also, I can tell you from personal knowledge having spent time with the team in 2023 that the team loves Alex as does the ownership. It’s really the perfect team for him and he’s doing great there and the team is on the rise.

[@LawVS]

I think Dorilton are quite happy with their investment.

[@teamredgutz399]

@@LawVS I can say definitively they are. They believe that their team provides a great environment for Alex to flourish. And it does. They also sacrificed 2023’s performance to devote almost all of their energies to the 2024 car especially to add downforce. So hoping for a big leap in performance in 2024 and an opportunity for Alex to really show how good he is.

[@bartekkko]

I'm afraid the biggest problem with Williams is that as long as they keep being cheeky by making a car that's fast in the straights instead of fast in their corners, they can only go so far up in the standings, and every year they keep using that 'strength' is a year they're not preparing for the future. I understand with their current facilities it's their only option, but if they ever want to get to the top, they will have to go through some growing pains first, like McLaren and AMR before them

[@LawVS]

Agreed. They can't keep relying on that anymore, especially in the era of ground effect.

Prediction: Alex will sign a contract with Audi

[@LawVS]

Interesting take. I hope they have deep pockets and Alex knows what he is doing.

[@-RLS-]

Albon is Merc driver in the making.

[@LawVS]

Maybe, since Toto is a shareholder at Williams.

[@BoredAndSarcastic]

If Ocon goes to Audi/Sauber I think him pairing with Pierre at Alpine makes a lot of sense. Or if Lando left Mclaren for Red Bull or Ferrari I think Albon with Piastri would make sense

[@LawVS]

I feel like wherever he goes needs to be offering a leadership position. He's done being a second fiddle.

[@regoryx7242]

Completely off topic. If anyone is going to COTA this year, book your hotel now. It was just announced that Georgia will be playing Texas in Austin (HUGE NCAA football game) next year on the same weekend. Hotels and traffic will be interesting…

[@LawVS]

Oh dear. I hate it when there's a clash for rooms for two different events.

[@johnyossarian1135]

Albon really represents a new era of Williams since he's a completely different driver to the aggressive, conformational types they've historically had. Jones was a lump of granite, Mansell was an ape who's only modes were fast and gravel trap, Villeneuve is the personification of confrontation and contrarianism, hill was inconsistent and blame gamey, let's not even mention Piquet and then there's Montoya who was a nut job with no sense of fear or self preservation. Albon is totally different and a better approach

[@LawVS]

Very true. Albon is a lot smoother. I'd love to see Jenson take on a more involved role with the team and work with Alex to make that Williams a *ahem* smooth operation.

[@momatmach1]

An interesting viewpoint on an established driver, he should stay at a team where he is valued, formula one as a whole needs new drivers, without a turnover of drivers it does become stale, for 2024 read 2023 with new liveries on the teams that don’t want to win.

[@LawVS]

Albon is a justifiable driver to keep around as his story is wonderful and we can now begin to see the value he brings to the sport as the guy part of the Williams renaissance...hopefully.

[@chrishenniker5944]

Someone needs to bring back showmanship , both on and off the track, as well as excitement, danger, fun and humour to the sport. I’m not an F1 fan, but all sport is showbiz, so let’s be honest about it.

[@LawVS]

Of course, I understand that. Albon's story is definitely a lovely one.

[@Osprey6m]

Well that’s where you are wrong. It’s only the microwave society that see sport that way. Others see it as a test of human performance. Showman are clowns in a circus. Unfortunately F1 does provide the circus but it doesn’t mean F1 drivers are clowns.

[@ally-o-oreo6090]

Personally, but I would love to see happen would be for Alex to stay at Williams and four him to somehow end up with George Russell as a teammate because those two together I think would bring Wiliams right back to the top.

[@LawVS]

Those two could make Williams really good

[@tiagoferreira5368]

Man i hope Albon doesn't flop next season 😅

[@LawVS]

I doubt he would. That car will be better in 2024.

[@lookatthisnet462]

3:40 considering how good Kimi Antonelli seems to be, Williams would want him anyway.

[@LawVS]

Depends if Colapinto outperforms him.

[@DanielOliverRacing]

He should stay at Williams. Sure he wont be fighting for a championship any time soon but he is valued - and I would argue that's equally important. It also sets himself up very well to go to mercedes when Lewis leaves. Alex has many more years in F1 and I don't think he's past his effectiveness. long game

[@LawVS]

Exactly. The feeling of being valued is so important to a driver's performance. That's why Oscar is slaying it at McLaren.

[@DanielOliverRacing]

@@LawVS it does so much.and he can be a massive asset there. His stock will go up

[@raioquieldelavin99]

Prediction: Alexander Albon might sign with the upcoming 2026 team

[@LawVS]

What, Audi? I doubt it. I reckon he will go for a 2-year extension with Williams. Why would he leave the team right when the results of his efforts could be about to bear fruit?

[@raioquieldelavin99]

Yea but im not quite sure with my prediction but will never know

[@Evarakeus]

Horner thinking Alex was too nice is quite interesting, seeing as Albon also said he was a big yes-man when he was at RB. I wonder if Horner meant Alex didn't have the backbone he needed to butt heads with the team when he needed to in the way that a Carlos Sainz or Fernando Alonso have shown. Not to the extent of harming the relationship as Gasly had (allegedly) done, but enough to assert himself

[@LawVS]

Alex was kinda allured into taking the top tier seat. It's kinda like why Carlos moved to Ferrari, he had to.

[@c.l.8213]

I kinda want Williams to be slightly more ruthless with their junior drivers, while keeping Alex as their Nr. 1 driver (and helping developing their car). If Sargeant doesn't step up by mid 2024, he needs to go. And I want him replaced with a new rookie.

[@LawVS]

I reckon they'll keep him for 2024 and then either take Colapinto, O'Sullivan or Antonelli with the view for the latter to go to Mercedes for 2026 if he does well.

[@yachthvac469]

Plus, Vowles had limited time on making the Williams better. Next year might be a better car, we will see.

[@LawVS]

Of course. James made do with a very limited set of tools. Next year will look more hopeful right from the get go.

[@LeonardoAld]

Let's not forget the 20 year old HQs

[@Richard-ot9fn]

I can see him staying at williams for 1 more year until 2025, then maybe replacing Lewis at Mercedes while Vesti gains experience at another team. But hoping he stays at Williams long term

[@LawVS]

I can see him doing a two year extension to see out the fruits of Williams' labours

[@mgers75]

The reason Albon will return to Red Bull if called upon is Williams has won one race since 2004. Red Bull, yeah you know how many they've won in that time frame. Also more money,

[@LawVS]

I get that and those are valid points...but based on his past experience and maturity, I doubt he would go back.

[@24KGoldBacon]

I know this is borrowing the tinfoil cap but... What if James Vowles is at Williams training to take over Mercedes when Toto rides off into the sunset with Hamilton, as he loves being associated with one of the greats. Then James comes back to take over Mercedes, which he knows inside out, and brings Alex with him using the Mercedes budget to make that happen?

[@LawVS]

It's a good point and Toto has said he hasn't found a worthy successor yet at Mercedes.

[@Osprey6m]

The market turns on Sainz. Should he go from Ferrari Alex will take a shot at getting the seat. I think it’s the only one he will be interested in. Being a Ferrari driver trumps being a lead driver for a Thai. The kudos, the opportunity to win a race, the history, and Frank.

[@LawVS]

That's true. Carlos is another key driver. He and Alex will make waves.

[@Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

[@bonelesswatermelon420]

If Alex does move on to a top team, I see him joining Mercedes to replace Lewis. Everyone will be expecting Alex to be George's no.2 but I don't think Alex will take that sitting down. George and Alex will be the new generation Lewis and Nico. Merc will continue its tradition of destroying childhood friendships.

[@bonelesswatermelon420]

As a tangent, I see this happening in 2026 or 27. Merc might nail the new engine regulations the same way they did in 2014. Lewis retires after one last shot at the title (regardless of him winning or not). Merc arranges a driver swap: they get Albon in exchange for Antonelli. Williams would be running Antonelli and Colapinto (Logan is sent to Haas with KMag retiring).

[@LawVS]

That's not a bad idea, but I reckon Williams is the place to be otherwise.

[@wonjoomin]

You compare Alex to Max and Charles, and yet think Williams is his best place to be. Really? First, i don't think his amicable personality is the main reason of his success; it's his natural (also much improved) drive skills and craft that merits his place in the sport. Second, all drivers want to win races if not dream of becoming a world champion; imo Williams wont be close to having winning cars in the next four, five years. If Alex were to leave Williams, I'd argue that Mercedes is a good fit for him, especially if Lewis is still racing with them. Alex can take on the support role that George never seems to be comfortable in giving, and become a better driver and possibly a real contender, learning from the 7x champion

[@LawVS]

The good nature of Alex is a major boost for the team and he knows seemingly what to do to extract the best out of the car and of his crew. His skill is also noteworthy too as he did score nearly 100 points in his rookie season.

[@zelig1799]

Alex will go to Merc when Hamilton retires. George and Alex is perfect for that team. Both of them are incredible at getting the best out of underperforming cars.

[@LawVS]

It's a fairly logical idea...but it depends whether or not Antonelli gets into F1 and impresses. If he does, Toto will whack the kid in with George.

[@teamredgutz399]

Aston Martin is another great team for Alex to join but there’s no opening. Fernando isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and Lance isn’t either until he tires of the sport or if the sponsors and coowners of the team somehow force his father to make a driver change.

...ALSO......DUDE I KINDA DISAGREE WITH YOUR MAIN OPINION LIKE *TOTALLY* .......BC *_ALBON+LECLERC WOULD VE CREATE A NICE SYNERGY AS WELL_* ......BC BOTH ARE FAST BOTH ARENT JACKASSES LIKE NANDO OR CARLOS........BOTH ARE TEAM PLAYERS......SO THEY'LL GET ALONG PRETTY MUCH WELL SO IF FERRARI WILL ALLOW ALBON TO GET SOME WINS BC THEY'LL BE TRYING TO CRAWL CHARLES TO TITLE..........ALBON WILL BE PRETTY MUCH FINE ESPECIALLY IF HE'LL BEFRIEND COMMON EMPLOYEES LIKE MICHAEL WAS DOING, FOR EXAMPLE...........AND HE'S THIS KIND OF GUY, RIGHT???? ..........SOOOO....... *IF WILLIAMS DUDES WILL WANT BETTER FUTURE FOR ALEX THEY SHOULD VE CONVINCE FERARI TO PICK UP THE DUDE ON CARLOS'S PLACE AT 25 SEASON* ..........SIMPLE GUY AT SIMPLE TEAM........THAT IS ESPECIALLY IN NEED OF KIND OF DUDES LIKE THAT BC SCUDERIA IS IN ONGOING CRISIS WHICH DOESNT SEEM TO END....... .....OK SAID ENOUGH.......BC NOT MUCH TO SAY ANYWAYS

Fair enough.

[@graemewilliams6697]

Maybe join Mercedes when Hamilton retires.

[@LawVS]

I reckon it'll either be Mick, Antonelli or Esteban. But Alex should be considered too

[@robertford8489]

Stop talking like Alex was always good. He probably hit his peak he won’t survive if he is racing against a strong competitive driver or in a car where you are expected to finish in points every race. It’s not redemption it’s Busch league in F1

[@LawVS]

The fact he's managed to give Williams some hope is good enough for me. That team needs every bit of hope they can get right now.

[@robertford8489]

@@LawVS not going to lie didn’t watch your video the whole way the first time. Just assumed at some point that you would be conspiring Checo to Albon. Checo is at least as nice as Albon. Won a race in the racing point. Has never gone a season without winning a race for Red Bull. Albon has recently tried to say he did better in the Red Bull comparatively to how Checo did this year. Don’t play into the hype and the discrimination. Red Bull got rid of Albon because they don’t think he could win a race and they are probably going to be correct with the number of quali laps and race laps Alex got deleted this year.

[@frankdobs]

Maybe look in the mirror and realize that your as bad as your trying to make out people talking crap on Checo @@robertford8489

[@LudiviR]

Stop calling Alex a top tier driver he got bodied by max

[@LawVS]

Yes, in 2020. However he can a top tier driver in being a great leader that any struggling team would love to have.

[@LudiviR]

@@LawVS maybe but he wouldn't be able to beat max if they were team mates again there's a reason none of the drivers including Albon are begging to get into the other red bull.

[@frankdobs]

You people love finding things that don't exist to be mad about @@LudiviR

[@luisanamillan877]

[@LawVS]

It would be a lovely glory run and a chance to realise a dream head to head with George.
