Mercedes driver George Russell says he is 'really pleased' to see Alex Albon alongside him on row two of Formula 1's Dutch Grand Prix amid 'huge progress' at Williams.
Williams has been struggling following years of underinvestment, but empowered by new owners Dorilton, former Mercedes man James Vowles has been overhauling the team to return it back to the front of the midfield.
Not unlike last year, the team's efficient, lower-downforce F1 car has been excelling at low-downforce circuits but less impressive on tracks where high loads are required.have bucked that trend, with Albon qualifying fourth and Sargeant tenth following a Q3 crash. "I'm really pleased to see him up there and it goes to show when you get your confidence how that can really transform the performance," Russell praised Albon's qualifying performance.
"Williams is making a huge amount of progress at the moment and I think James Vowles is having a really positive impact there. I think he's definitely the best man for the job for what Williams need at the moment for their resurgence. "It's great to see more than just the top teams fighting and that's what we want in Formula 1, we want everybody to have a chance if they do a good job."
