阿尔本承诺2027年继续效力威廉姆斯F1车队
亚历克斯·阿尔本将在威廉姆斯再留一个F1赛季,合同延长至2027年
亚历克斯·阿尔本已同意一份短期合同续约,将在2027年连续第六个F1赛季为威廉姆斯效力。
阿尔本于2022赛季前加入威廉姆斯,是今年年底合同到期的几位车手之一,此前外界对他和队友卡洛斯·塞恩斯在这支表现不佳的车队的未来有诸多猜测。
但这位30岁的车手现已承诺自己的近期未来属于这支位于格罗夫的车队,同意续签一年合同至2027年,他支持车队继续其长期重建,迈向现代化的F1运营。
“自2022年加入Atlassian威廉姆斯F1车队以来,这支车队发生的转变难以用言语形容,”车队引述阿尔本的话说。
“一个艰难的赛季并不能说明全部,这只会给我更多动力,与工厂和我们的车迷一起继续建设、共同推动,去成就伟大的事情。我们的故事还没有结束,所以我现在的全部精力都放在尽一切努力让我们重回积分榜前列。”
车队领队詹姆斯·沃尔斯表示,他对这位英泰混血车手在2026年遭遇挫折后仍继续信任威廉姆斯感到“高兴”,车队在去年攀升至第五后,今年滑落至积分榜第九。
“亚历克斯从第一天起就是这项转型计划的领导者,我们还有许多未竟的事业,我们决心去实现,”沃尔斯说。“亚历克斯是围场里最好的车手之一,他比任何人都更清楚我们近年来取得的巨大进步——与他续约表明我们对前进方向都充满信心。”
今年早些时候,阿尔本成为威廉姆斯效力时间最长的车手,在西班牙站超越奈杰尔·曼塞尔,随后在最近的匈牙利大奖赛上为这支传奇车队完成了第100场比赛。队友塞恩斯尚未承诺自己的未来。

Albon commits to Williams F1 team for 2027
Alex Albon remains at Williams for another Formula 1 season, extending his deal to 2027
Alex Albon will stay at Williams for a sixth consecutive Formula 1 season in 2027 after agreeing a short-term contract extension.
Albon joined Williams ahead of the 2022 season and was one of several drivers out of contract at the end of this year, amid speculation over his and team-mate Carlos Sainz's future with the underperforming outfit.
But the 30-year-old has now committed his immediate future to the Grove-based squad by agreeing a one-year contract extension for 2027, as he backs the team to continue its long-term rebuild into a modern F1 operation.
"Since joining Atlassian Williams F1 Team in 2022, the transformation this team has made is difficult to put into words," Albon was quoted by the team.
"One tough year doesn’t tell the full picture, and it only gives me more motivation to keep building and pushing together with the factory and our fans to achieve great things. Our story is not over yet, so my full focus now is on doing whatever it takes to get us back up the grid."
Team principal James Vowles said he was "delighted" that the Anglo-Thai driver has continued to put his faith in Williams despite 2026's blip, with the team slumping to ninth in the standings after climbing to fifth last year.
"Alex has been a leader of this transformation project since day one and we have plenty of unfinished business that we are determined to achieve," Vowles said. "Alex is one of the best drivers on the grid and knows better than anyone the enormous improvements we have made in recent years – re-signing him shows the belief we both have in the direction we are heading."
Earlier this year Albon became Williams' most tenured driver, overtaking Nigel Mansell in Spain before crossing the 100-race mark for the storied squad at the most recent Hungarian Grand Prix. Team-mate Sainz is yet to commit his own future to the team.
