Alexander Albon, Williams Racing driver, confessed that he needs to mentally block out the team’s lack of spare parts during the early stages of the 2024 Formula 1 season. Williams took a risk by delaying their deadlines to overhaul the car concept, resulting in entering the season without a spare chassis. This risk was exposed in Australia, when Albon crashed during FP1, leaving Logan Sargeant unable to race over the weekend. Albon denies that he will change his mindset due to this challenging situation and continues to push the limits as usual to help Williams end their winless streak. He emphasizes the importance of approaching each race weekend with the same intensity and not allowing the lack of parts to affect his performance. Williams managed to repair Albon’s damaged chassis from Japan and both drivers will use an upgraded front wing in the upcoming Chinese Grand Prix. Albon praises the team for their dedication and effort in overcoming their setbacks. He acknowledges that races like this, where there are many unknowns, offer opportunities for teams like Williams.
