168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon feels scoring points in the Australian Grand Prix would be the best way to “payback” Williams F1 teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant.

Williams made a controversial call to give Sargeant’s chassis to Albon after the latter caused ♕irreparable damage to his car in a huge crash durඣing first practice and it emerged the team did not have a spare in Melbourne.

Albon went on to qualify 12th for Sunday’s grand prix, two places outside of the points and behind Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

With Williams effectively opting to sacrifice Sargeant’s weeken💎d, Albon is determined to repay his American teammate, who he described as being a “true gentleman”.

"He's been a true gentleman, he's been a true team player in this whole situation," Albon♌ said of Sargeant.

"We chat, we always chat, we're very open as a tꦯeam. I was helping him in FP2 and when tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhe decision was made he was helping me.”

Asked what it was like taking his teammate’s car, Albon replied: “A different feeling, a weird feeling🔯, i🅺f I'm honest.

"It's one thing making a mistake and the pressure of trying to deliver a performance in qualifying, but it's another🗹 feeling w💯hen you've been given responsibility, and I take that responsibility, it's not lost on me.

“So yeah, it was tough. But at the same time the only thing you can do is focus on your job and 💞put it all behind you and treat the weekend like a nor💟mal weekend.

"We're obviously a session down but generally that's all I can really do, 🍌and so far we've done a good job, and just got to keep 🦩it going, and the ultimate kind of payback to Logan would be some points.”

Williams team principal James Vowles explained the reason to favour Albon was because they feel the British-born Thai racer p🎶resents the team’s best chance of scoring points in Melbourne.

Williams are also set to be wi🦩thout a spare chassis at the next race in Japan in two weeks time♔.
