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.
