Stable Williams: A big loss

The start of the new Formula 1 season will be announced this weekend at the Bahrain Grand Prix, the first stage of the World Championship which should include a record 23 stops in 2022. To wrap up our roundup of the participating teams this year, today we give you an overview. About the Williams team.

This team, once a force in Formula 1, will have to dispense with George Russell, who many describe as the world champion in the making. Given the loss of the young Briton, recruited by Mercedes in 2022, one wonders how this team will be able to improve its fate.

Canadian Nicholas Latifi, still looking for his first break, is entering his third season in Formula 1.

To back him up, Williams has enlisted the return of Alex Albon, who was ousted by Mexican Sergio Perez from Red Bull last year. The 25-year-old Thai has two podiums in their careers, but he will surely realize that Williams does not have the potential of Red Bull.
