While Alex Albon's new teammate, Carlos Sainz, has been on the grid longer than the Thai driver by four years, Albon called the Spaniard "fresher" compared to him in the context of being in the Williams team.

Albon also looked back on his own move from the top tier team of Red Bull to Williams in 2022, relating it to Sainz's move this year. Speaking with the media last week, Albon said:

"I remember my time at Red Bull and when I came to Williams. Obviously there's a lot of things on your mind, things you want to try to improve for the team.

"At the same time, I've spent now three years at Williams, and it's nice to almost have someone a little bit fresher than me." [via RacingNews365]

However, the 28-year-old is looking forward to the change:

"Coming from a team like Ferrari, I'm sure he'll bring a lot to the table. And of course, I know he will push me. He had a very strong year [last] year. But it will be a good challenge."

Williams finished 2024 in ninth place after beating Kick Sauber by 13 points, avoiding the last spot in the constructors' championship.
