On the one hand a confirmation, that of Nicholas Latifi, on the other hand, the arrival of Alex Albon in the team. For Latifi this is the third consecutive season with the team. For Albon, on the other hand, a return to Formula 1 after the year spent in DTM and as a test driver for Red Bull. The Thai driver takes the place of Russel, made official on Tuesday by Mercedes as Hamilton's new companion.
"I'm really excited and can't wait to get back to driving Formula 1 in 2022," said Albon. "When you leave F1 one year it is never certain that you will return, so I am extremely grateful to Red Bull and Williams for believing in me and helping me on my return journey. "
