Alex Albon is on track to become the driver with the most Grand Prix starts for Williams, overtaking Nigel Mansell’s 95‑race tally at the forthcoming Barcelona‑Catalunya event. The milestone, highlighted in his latest appearance on the Beyond The Grid podcast, underscores a personal benchmark for the Thai‑British racer.
Since joining the team in 2022, Albon says he has grown both behind the wheel and as an individual, noting that Williams’ early struggles in the new Formula 1 era have forced a shift in ambition—from chasing podiums to rebuilding competitiveness. He reflects on the challenges the outfit faces and how those setbacks have reshaped their short‑term goals.
Albon also touches on his rapport with teammate Carlos Sainz and offers perspective on the achievements of peers such as Lando Norris and George Russell, whom he raced against in junior categories.
