GROVE, England — Formula One driver Alex Albon has signed a multiyear contract extension with Williams to end speculation about his future. Team principal James Vowles called it "a huge vote of confidence" in the once-dominant team's rebuild. Williams says the new deal will keep the 28-year-old Albon at the team "into the new era of Formula 1 regulations," which start in 2026. It did not give more details. The announcement came ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix this weekend. The British-born Thai driver had been linked with moves to both Red Bull and Mercedes. He was under contract at Williams through 2025.
