There are still a handful of drivers within Formula 1 who do not have much left of their fingernails as they sweat over their future in the sport.
Alex Albon was one of them a few weeks ago, with the year he was forced to sit on the sidelines in 2021 still very much fresh in his mind. But then came his new multi-year deal with Williams – and the security he needs to really kick on in his racing career.
"Everything seems to happen normally quite quickly in F1," he told Mirror Sport. "I have a great relationship with Jost [Capito, team principal] and we were speaking about it from an early stage. It's great to have stability in your future – it's something that is quite rare in F1. It's great peace of mind to know I'm on the grid for a few more years to come."
