Alex Albon will remain with Williams for the 2027 Formula 1 season after signing a one-year contract extension. BBC Sport reported the move, which secures Albon’s place in the Williams line-up for the next campaign. The deal keeps the Thai-British driver with the Grove-based team for another season under the terms of the new contract. Williams and Albon will therefore head into 2027 with their driver pairing confirmed by the one-year extension.
