Alex Albon declared Williams will compete with the top Formula 1 teams again, citing Aston Martin's success as an "inspiration".
The Thai-British driver said Williams want to follow Aston Martin's example and make the extra step to start competing for podiums. The Silverstone-based outfit has surprised the paddock this season with Fernando Alonso achieving a treble of podiums in the first three races.
It is a huge improvement from last season, when the team finished seventh in the constructors' championship and scored double figure points at only one race. Albon sees Aston Martin's success as a shining example that any team can make a similarly sudden leap.
