A year ago in Las Vegas, Williams drivers showed excellent results in qualifying on the new city circuit: Alex Albon started from fifth place, his then teammate Logan Sargent – from sixth place. Although neither one nor the other earned points in the race, Albon is now looking optimistically ahead to the next phase of the season.
Alex Albon: “The team has been working very hard over the past two weeks, especially as we expect the best opportunities to earn points in the remaining races of the season will be in Las Vegas. But because this Grand Prix starts the series of the last three stages, the task has become much more complicated for everyone.
In terms of pace we should do well at this track, but a year ago we were quite slow in the race because we had more problems with tire degradation than our rivals. This was also due to higher tire pressure levels, which usually only worsens the degradation.
But we analyzed the information collected then in detail and understood what it was related to. Now we have to be better prepared for this weekend, so personally I am optimistic. We will probably have to pay more attention to the pace in the long series of laps in practice on Friday to understand what level we are at and whether we have been able to overcome the difficulties of last year.”
