I would have bet that Albon was also a contender for the Audi or Mercedes seat. Williams must have a promising outlook if he decided to stay with them instead of gambling on a one-year stint at Mercedes or a restart with Audi.
No way, Audi is looking towards Albon as a contender. Sainz is a better option for both Audi and Merc. Alpine boys(mainly Gasly) are also looking to move, one of them could land at Audi.
Vowels could have helped with his promotion to Merc, but doesn't look like there was much interest from Merc.
If Vowels and Albon bring Williams to top of the midfield and I belive these two are right people for this job. He might get called back to Red Bull to replace Perez in 2026 (maybe), because I don't see another top drive for him in the near future .
Meanwhile, I am happy to see him at Williams with Vowels, hoping he gets a fair chance in a top team.
Sure. With Sainz Sr.'s history with Audi, Sainz is definitely their number one choice. However, Audi will likely have a pipeline of drivers, as Sainz's chances for a seat at Red Bull or Mercedes are also strong. If Sainz isn't available, I would have assumed Audi would try to grab Albon.
