I'm ready for anything, says Williams' Albon

YOUNGSTER SAYS CONFIDENCE HAS BEEN REBUILT AFTER RED BULL DEMOTION

- By SCOTT HUNT

ALEX Albon believes he is now "ready for anything" in Formula One after learning from his Red Bull exit to lead Williams in their quest to return to the top of the sport.

The London-born Thai driver has had an impressive start to the season for a Williams team which continues to show signs of progress after over two decades of struggles.

Albon made his F1 debut in 2019 with Toro Rosso but was soon promoted to the Red Bull senior team to partner Max Verstappen.

He ended the season well and kept the seat for 2020, but a difficult second campaign saw him demoted to the role of reserve driver for a year before he returned to the grid with Williams in 2022.

Williams team principal James Vowles has said he found a driver short on confidence when he joined in 2023, an assessment Albon agrees with.
