Thai-British Formula One driver for Williams, Alex Albon, will return to the Formula 1 grid in 2022 after securing a deal to race with Williams, with the British team also confirming Nicholas Latifi will stay on for a third campaign.
Albon has fulfilled reserve and test driver duties for Red Bull this season after losing his race seat to Sergio Perez.
Albon took his first podium finish – and the first for a Thai driver – at the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix.
After two seasons in Formula One, Albon was demoted to a test and reserve driver role with Red Bull for 2021, and his seat was taken by Sergio Pérez.
How Much Does Alex Albon Earn?
Albon earns an annual salary of $32,000,000.
Is Alex Albon Going To Williams?
After a year on the sidelines at Red Bull, Alex Albon will be back on the grid next season as a team-mate to Nicholas Latifi at Williams.
George Russell’s move to Mercedes had created a vacancy at the Grove team; Red Bull release Albon for a drive in 2022 but retain a relationship with future options.
Albon previously raced in Formula One for Scuderia Toro Rosso and Red Bull Racing and in DTM for AF Corse.
