Albon ‘happy’ with strong P6 after holding off Hamilton in Belgium

Alex Albon celebrated a strong P6 finish at the Belgian Grand Prix, securing crucial points for Williams. Albon showcased impressive race craft, holding off Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton for a significant portion of the race and highlighting the consistent performance of the Williams car. This result boosted Williams' position in the constructors' standings. Conversely, teammate Carlos Sainz endured a frustrating race, finishing P18 despite a sprint points haul. Sainz's struggles stemmed from a pit lane start, setup issues, and an ill-fated gamble on wet weather conditions that never materialized, leaving him reflecting on a highly inconsistent season.
