Another domino in the F1 driver market fell as Williams announced 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon will remain wi🅺th the team for the foreseeable future having signed a multi-year deal.

The identity of Albon’s teammate for 2025 is still unknow𝕴n thoug💝h.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant’s poor form means it’s likely Williams will be active in the driver market as they look to improv♍e their line-up for n🌜ext year.

Here’s who Williams could sign alongside Albon.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli

Andrea Kimi Antonelli is reportedly the🌊 f𒅌avourite to drive alongside Albon should Mercedes feel he’s not ready.

Antonelli is Mercedes’ hot young prospect, effectively their own 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen of the future.

The Italian has been linked with Williams on a regular basis, even reports suggesting he could make hiไs F1 debut this weekend.

The FIA reported that they had received a request to hand Antonelli a super li🗹cence early, before he turns 18, leading to speculation he could make his F1 debut at Imola.

That didn't materialise as he focuses on his FIA Formula 2 campai🌳gn.&n🐻bsp;

Antonelli to Williams could be likely if Mercedes opt for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, or Verstapp♔en decides to juꦓmp ship from Red Bull.

Valtteri Bottas

A Williams reunion for168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Valtteri Bottas could be on the cards.

It appears that the Finn has little ho𒆙pe of remaining with Sauber/Audi with the team already signing Nico Hulkenberg.

Sauber have their eyes 🤡on Sainz as their number one choice, while the Alpine pair are also on Andreas Seidl’s w♍ishlist.

Despite failing to score any points in 2024 so far, Bo♚ttas’ performances for Sauber have been impressive.

He’s unbeaten in qualifying against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu an🐟d without some pit stop misfortune, he’d have lik𝔍ely scored in at least two races.

A Bottas-Albon combination would give Williams an incredibly potent midfield line-up - something they’ve not had since Bottas was last in the team alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Felipe Massa in 2016.

Pierre Gasly

Another driver in the frame to join Williams potentially is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly.

According to Sky’s David Croft, Gasꦅly has held talks with Williams over a potential switch.

Given Alpine’🎶s poor performance in 2024, Gasly might fancy a new challenge.

While Alpine is a works outfit, they’ve failed to deliverꦏ on that potential over the years.

Gasly could be tempted into a switch to Grove, and given his age compared to Bottas, he could be 🌟a more appealing option for Williams.

Esteban Ocon

It’s a similar story for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon.

Alpine’s form leaves 🐓them vulnerable and Ocon is another major player on tဣhe driver market.

The Frenchmไan is also in the frame to join Audi should they fail to s🅘ign Sainz.

Ocon has been one of the unsung heroes in 2024, performing at an incrediblyℱ high level.

F🌺or Williams, he’d be a great coup, particularly as 🥀he seems to excel in underperforming machinery. 

Zhou Guanyu

Like teammate Bottas, Zhou is likely ﷽to be on the market.

The Chinese driver is reportedly a front-runner to replace Kevin Magnussen at Haas, potentially alongside Olive♌r Bearman.

While Zhou lacks the ultimate outright pace, he's a🍌 steady performer on race day.

With financial backing behind hiꦚm, he's a possible option, albei♉t an underwhelming one.
