The Thai driver will race for the Williams team for the 2022 season. The former Red Bull driver sat out the 2021 season and was the reserve driver for the Austrian team. He mentioned he liked the new colors in the livery of the British team and claims it represents the team well.
“I like it. I would say it’s more Williams. It is more simple in terms of the color scheme. There’s a little of **** in it. I like the **** in it,” said Albon.

The team also announced a new partnership with Duracell as their new sponsor ahead of the 2022 season.
“I am so proud of this partnership between Williams and Duracell, and I am grateful for the trust and confidence they have put in us. Having their name on the side of our car is a personal highlight for me, as my nickname for 30 years has been Duracell–because I never run out of energy. I am very much looking forward to our work together,” said the Williams team boss Jost Capito.
