Alexander Albon was happy to mock Alpine over their Oscar Piastri mess as Williams confirmed a new contract for the British-Thai racer.
Williams teased the F1 world with a statement earlier on Wednesday that they would be making an announcement at 3pm. It caused many to speculate that they could reveal their intention to sign Piastri, after his shock rejection of the vacant Alpine seat the day before.
The Australian had revealed that news in a tweet – the wording of which Albon copied as his own future was secured. "I understand that, with my agreement, Williams Racing have put out a press release this afternoon that I am driving for them next year," he wrote. "This is right and I have signed a contract with Williams for 2023. I will be driving for Williams next year."
