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 t🐓he foreseeable future having signed a multi-year deal.

The identity 🔥of Albon’s teammate for 2025 is still unknown though.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant’s poor for🐟m means it’s likely Williams will be active in the driver mar🌠ket as they look to improve 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 liജnked with Williams on a regular basis, even reports suggesting he could make his F1 debut this weekend.

The FIA 🌺repo꧃rted 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 focuses on his FIA Foꦫrmula 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 de﷽cides 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 Nico Hulkenberg.

Sauber have their eyes on Sainz as their number one choice, while the Alpine pair are also on 🎃Andreas Seidl’s wishlist.

Despite failing to score any points in 2024 so far, Botta𒉰s’ performances for Sauber have been impre🅰ssive.

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 misfortune, he’d have likely score🍌d 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 has held talks with Williams over a potential sꦦwitch.

Gi♐ven Alpine’s poor performance in 2024, Gasly might fancy a new challenge.

While ꦑAlpine is a works outfit, they’ve failed to deliver on that potential over the years.

Ga෴sly could be tempted into 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.

Alpiඣne’s form leaves them vulnerable and Ocon 🅺is another major player on the driver market.

The Frenchman is also in the frame to join Audi should they fail to sig🍒n Sainz.

Ocon has been one of the unsung heroes in 2024, performing at an incredibly high le🍌vel.

For Williams, he’d be a great coup, particularly as he seems to excel in underperforming mac🧔hinery. 

Zhou Guanyu

Like teammate Bottas♋, Zhou is likely to be on the market.

The Chinese driver is reportedly a front-runner to replace Kevin Magnussen at Haas, potentially alongs📖ide Oliver Bearman.

While Zhou lacks the ulti♛mate outright pace, he's a steady performer on race day.

With financial b🤡acking behind him, he's a possible option, albeit an underwhelmin🥀g one.
