Five F1 drivers who could be Alex Albon’s teammate in 2025
With Williams announcing 🍷Alex Albon’s new multi-year deal ahead 𒈔of Imola this weekend, who could partner him in 2025?

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 with the team for the foreseeable future having s🧜igned a multi-year deal.
The id🐭entity of Albon’s teamꦜmate for 2025 is still unknown though.
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 impro🎶ve their line-up for next year.
Here’s who Williams could sign alongside Albon.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli
Andrea Kimi Antonelli is reportedly the favourite 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 his F1 debut this weeke൩nd.
The FIA reported that they had received a request to hand Antonelli a super licence early, before he turns 18, leading to speculation he could make his F1 debut at🍒 Imola.
That didn't materialise as he f🍰ocuses on his FIA Formula 2 campaign.
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🌊 Verstappen decide🐼s to jump 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 hope of remaining with Sauber/Audi with the team already signing Nic💖o Hulkenberg.
Sauber have their eyes on Sainz as their number one choice, while the Alpine pair are also o♊n Andreas Seidl’s wishlist.

Despite ൩failing to score any points in 2024 so far, Bottas’ performances for Sauber have been im🅘pressive.
He’s unbeaten in qualifying against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu and without some pit stop m𒉰isfortune, he’d have likely 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, Gasly hꦉas hel𒆙d talks with Williams over a potential switch.
Given Alpine’ꦛs poor performance in 2024, Gasly might fancy a new challenge.
While Alpine is a wo🐠rks outfꦡit, they’ve failed to deliver on that potential over the years.
Gasly could be tempted i♓nto 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 anot🐽her major player on the driver market.
The Frenchman is also in the frame to join Audi sh꧂oܫuld they fail to sign Sainz.

O😼con has been one of 🐎the unsung heroes in 2024, performing at an incredibly high level.
For Will🧜iams, he’d be a great coup, particularly as he seems to excel in underperforming macℱhinery.
Zhou Guanyu
Like ꧒t🅺eammate Bottas, Zhou is likely to be on the market.
The Chinese driver is reportedly a front-runner to replace Kevin Magnussen 𒅌at Haas, potentially alongside Oliver Bearman.
While Zhou lacks the ultimate outright pace, he's a steꩲady performer on ra🅷ce day.
With f꧃inancial backing behind him, he's a possible option, albeit an unde🧔rwhelming one.
