Albon Hails Culture Shift as Williams Reaches 101 Points and Fifth in 2025

Overview

• Albon describes a “huge shift” in openness and ambition inside Williams, contrasting it with the low‑ebb atmosphere he found when he joined in 2022.
• Williams sits fifth in the Constructors’ standings on 101 points, its first three‑figure tally since 2016.
• Vowles says Albon’s pace and unshakeable confidence have set the tone, with the driver directing development and helping teammate Carlos Sainz adapt.
• Albon says 2024 looked like a step back on track but marked deep structural changes that underpin this season’s gains.
• He admits he did not expect a 2025 podium before the year began, citing a big step seen at the February Silverstone shakedown and estimating the project is only 60–70% complete, with Sainz delivering the Azerbaijan rostrum.
