ALEX ALBON TO RUN NIGEL MANSELL TRIBUTE AT F1 BARCELONA GP

Alex Albon will sport a Nigel Mansell tribute helmet at the Barcelona Grand Prix, commemorating a significant Williams F1 milestone. This weekend, Albon surpasses Mansell's record of 95 starts for the British team, making him their most experienced driver. The helmet design mirrors Mansell's iconic blue, white, and red livery from his 1992 championship season. Albon called Mansell "an inspiration," acknowledging the team's hard work.

Mansell achieved his record over seven non-consecutive years; Albon in just over four seasons – a testament to the modern F1 calendar. Albon's 2022 move to Williams resurrected his F1 career, establishing him as a solid performer. Mansell remains Williams' most successful driver, holding a dominant 28 wins. Despite the milestone, Williams sits eighth in the constructors' standings with only 11 points. They need Albon's experience to help climb the grid and find form in Barcelona.
