Albon: Williams' Lighter Ride in Miami

On April 30th, Williams driver Alex Albin just dropped some good news ahead of the Miami Grand Prix.

Their car was overweight in the first three races, but during the five-week break in April, the team shaved off some pounds.

Albon confirmed it himself, saying the downtime acted like a solid training reset.

That unexpected pause gave everyone a breather to tweak their machines before the season ramps back up.

Williams used it to get lighter and faster, fixing one of their early headaches.

Albon sounded pumped in a recent podcast chat, but he's keeping it real.

He knows upgrades are subjective in Formula One, and every team is rolling out improvements.

You chat with other drivers, gauge, divide, but it's all about who gains the most ground.

Still, he's cautious. Williams feels like they're playing catch-up, and those top squads always crush it during breaks like this.

Everyone's hungry to see how the changes stack up on track.

Miami hits from May 1st through 3rd at Hard Rock Stadium, with the second sprint race of the year.

Can't wait to see if Williams' lighter ride flips the script this weekend.
