Alex and Carlos Gear Up for High-Energy Weekend in Austin

Formula 1 heads stateside once again as the 2025 season arrives in Austin, Texas, for the United States Grand Prix. The return of the Sprint format promises plenty of action at Circuit of The Americas, with Atlassian Williams Racing aiming for a third-successive points finish at this venue.

Alex Albon is looking forward to another memorable weekend in one of his favourite stops on the calendar.

"Austin is a special place and somewhere that I always enjoy visiting. Not only is the food always good, but the city is great and the fans definitely bring the Texas energy.

"It’s the return of the Sprint format this weekend, so we’ll need to get up to speed quickly with only one practice session. It is a challenging and fun track, and it looks to be very hot this weekend, but it is a track that offers overtaking opportunities and has a great flow to it so anything can happen."

Carlos Sainz shares the excitement and is confident that the team can continue its recent form.

"It’s always great coming back to Austin, and with the Sprint format this year it’s going to be a really exciting and action-packed weekend on track. We’ve had a strong few weeks as a team and are building some nice momentum, so I’m looking forward to getting back out there and hopefully scoring more points to keep hold of P5 in the Championship.

"As an American owned team, going back to home soil always brings a lot of energy to the weekend, so it will be a busy one but one of the best weekends of the season."
