168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon is contracted to Williams until the end of the 2025 F1 season, te𒆙am principal James 🅷Vowles has confirmed.

The Ang🐲lo-Thai driver’s lon🍒g-term future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks amid reports first linking him to Ferrari, then Mercedes and even Red Bull.

Former Williams team mana🔯ger Pe🥀ter Windsor recently claimed Red Bull have offered Albon a three-year contract to return to the reigning champions in 2025.

The highly-rated 27-year-old has also been linked with Mercedes in the days following confirmation of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s shock switch to Ferrari next year.

But Williaཧms boss Vowles has moved to pour cold water over such rumours by re♎vealing that Albon is tied down until the end of 2025.

Williams had not previously disclosed the length of Albon’s contract, dওescribing it𒁏 only as a “multi-year” deal.

“Alex is signed at Williams until the en🌜d of 2025, that’s signed,” Vowles told media including mahbx.com.

“It’s not something I’ve been very public about it, because I don’t feel the need to.🌠 So any reports that you are seeing, and there’s one in particular, that individual💮 is speculating at best.

“It is our job in Williams to create an environment for someone of the calibre of Alex - simpl🔴e as that. I’ve said that from the beginning and I stil🌃l maintain that.

“He is an incredible driver that deserves his place towards the front. He did drives last year that were no different to some of the champ🙈ions I’ve worked with.

“He and I have good chats about where we want to move forward, and where we want to move forward is to have our 🌃journey together, in this team, for a long time.

“For the situation with Alex, would I stand in his way? I have the respon𓄧sibility of Williams on my shoulder, that’s the most important thing to me.

“It’s not the responsibility to one individ꧒ual - in this case Alex - it’s the responsibility to the team.

“So should any decision go that way it’s because I’m clear in my mind that I’ve made decisions I think are correct for the✤ team’s long-term goals, not the short-term.”

Albon, meanwhil🌃e, insisted “my whole focus is on Williams and that’s where I see myself”. 

“I’m seeing about the long-term future and the rate of progression is also very importa⛄nt to me, so time will tell,” he added.

“That’s kind of my short-siꦇghted view. Of course things are moving around quite a lot. And there’s a lot of rumours going around but that’s where I am now.”

But when pressed on whether he will still be a Williams driver in 2025, or if he h൩as the option to look elsewhere, Albon cagily responded: “Let’s see. Time will tell.

“My focus is on 2024𝓰, let’s say that. My real focus is making sur♏e we make progress for 2025. That’s really where I’m at.

“I realistically want to be with the team, if the team are where I want them to be it wiღll be a long-term contract.

“We are going to go all the way, or nothing. That’s my idea of i🌠t.”
