168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon doesn’t think 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Williams will need to adopt a clear “hierarchy” within the team following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz’s arrival for the 2025 F1 season.

Sainz will switc♛h from Ferrari to Williams for 2025 after he was overlooked by a number of top teams, including Mercedes and Red Bull.

Sainz is widely-regarded as one of F1’s best performer🐲s because of how close he has pushed Charles Leclerc during his stint at Maranello since 2021.

He also beat Lando No🀅rris during his two seasons at McLaren, ultimatel🍌y earning him a spot at Ferrari in place of Sebastian Vettel.

Speaking exclusively to mahbx.com at the Dutch Grand Prix, Albon dismissed suggestions that Williams’ new drive🔯r line-up would result in a cle🔴ar “hierarchy” within the team with one driver potentially being favoured.

“I don’t think we can afford to play a hierarchy style,” Albon exclusively told mahbx.com. “We’re just here to score points. It’s so tight. I don’t think we’re going to be in the top teams for next year so we just need to make ꦉsure we have both cars performi𒁏ng.

“That goes back to my point, we just need to make sure we’re in a good place within th🐲e team to be able to have two drivers who are going to be fighting. I believe we’re going to be closely matched.

“He’s a highly-rated driver and it will be great to go up against him. We just need to make sure we’re in a good place within the team to be able to have two drivers that are fighting. ⛎I believe we’re going to be closely matched.

“He's🎀 a very highly rated driver and it’s going to be great to go up against him. We just need to make sure we have the foundations to be able to support that.”

Sainz’s future continued to be ♉a hot topic in the months prior to the announcement earlier this♑ month.

The 29-year-old was heavily linked with the Audi project as well as Alpine, with links intensifying following the arriv🙈al of Flavio Briatore.

Sainz ultimately opted for Williams, arguably giving the Grove outfit their strongest line-up since the ear💮ly 2000s with Ralf Schumacher and Juan-Pablo Montoya. 

Reflecting on the announcement, Albon conceded it “wasn’t unexpected” 🏅before explaining what specifically he’s excited about Sainz’s arrival.

“I know James [Vowles] was very keen on getting Carlos early in t✅he season," Albon said. "I think for the most part, what I find the most exciting is when I think about me coming from Red Bull to Williams there was so much stuff that I learned from Red Bull.

“It fast-tracked a little bit where I could jump into a Williams car and knew straightaway what areas we♍re weak, what areas were strong, what areas I need to focus on and what areas I almost could ignore and allocate my time to other things. 

"I think with Carlos coming in, he’s going to have so much experience especially with this new generation of car to know where 🦹the weaknesses are.

“I’ve spent two and a half, almost three years now driving the William☂s car in this current generation of car. I have my own ideas of where we’re weak and what not. 

"With Carlos coming in with that experience from Ferrari, iꦚt’s going to be very valuab🅺le. I am sure when he comes we're going to braindump and ask him everything.”

A point to prove?

Since leaving Red Bull at the end of 2ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ020, Albon has established himself as one of F1’s top performers.

However, arguably, a question mark remains over🌳 the size of his improvement since leaving Williams given the identity of his teammates.

Nicholas Latifi struggled cons🥃iderably wit🐭h the Williams FW44 in 2022, while Logan Sargeant has struggled.

Albon is relishing the challenge of going up against Sainz - but insisted he’s not interested in “comparisons” ꦑwith his teammate for next year.

“It’s not my plac💮e to draw comparisons around,” he added. “The media do the comparisons. I am concentrating on myself. I enjoy the challenges.

“I think it’s great to have Carlos onboard. I think we’re going to learn a lot from each other. I see🐻 it as an exciting thing.”

This weekend at the F1 Italian Grand Pr🌃ix, Albon will have a new teammate to contend with.

Williams opted t🔯o replace under-performing Logan Sargeant with Franco Colapinto, from their driver academy, for the rest of thi👍s year.

Colapinto wi♈ll race in the final nine rounds of the season before Sainz takes over ꧋permanently.
