The 30-year-old Thai joined the former champions in 2022, after a stint as a Red Bull driver, and ​made his 100th start for Williams in ​Hungary before the August break.

Williams are ninth of ⁠11 teams, with 11 points from 11 ​races, as Formula One regroups after its August break ​with the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort this weekend.

"One tough year doesn’t tell the full picture, and it only ​gives me more motivation to keep building and ​pushing together with the factory and our fans to achieve ‌great ⁠things," Albon said in a statement.

"Our story is not over yet, so my full focus now is on doing whatever it takes to get ​us back up ​the grid.”

Albon's ⁠teammate Carlos Sainz, who has scored six of the 11 points, has ​yet to agree an extension with speculation ​about ⁠his future.

The Spaniard joined from Ferrari on a multi-year contract in 2025 and is believed to ⁠have a ​performance clause that would allow ​him to walk away after two seasons should an opportunity ​arise elsewhere.
