Unlucky weekend in Canada
Albon was forced to retire on Lap 11 of the Canadian Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Albon had an unlucky race weekend from start to finish, crashing in FP1 after encountering wildlife on the track. He couldn't participate in the sprint as a result, and he then qualified 18th for the race, likely a result of his lack of running earlier in the weekend. After a chaotic start to the race, Albon worked his way up to 12th, only to get taken out by a desperate Oscar Piastri at the hairpin. Though this weekend wasn't his fault, Albon has now finished 20th or worse in three of five races to begin the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Albon's first year with Williams went a little less smoothly than the Englishman might have hoped, despite consistently finishing ahead of his teammate, Nicolas Latifi, in the 2022 season. With six DNFs out of 21 starts, Albon struggled to retain any momentum between races, but was still able to bring home some points for the team at Melbourne, Miami, and Spa. A ruptured appendix and resulting complications with his appendectomy caused Albon to miss out on the race at Monza, but ultimately he was able to finish off the year with an average finish of 14th-place. The driver of the No. 23 is looking to improve his overall performance this year, while the new team dynamic between himself and incoming rookie Logan Sargeant is yet to be established. Both drivers would do well to bring home more points for Team Williams in 2023, indicating that the once-great constructor might still have talent to offer the sport after so many years at the back of the pack.
