I think it's more about Verstappen, Hamilton and Sainz than Albon himself. I imagine this news probably confirms that Verstappen and Sainz will be at Red Bull and Mercedes in some order and that Perez will likely be retained or replaced internally.Contracts can always be broken, but I think that's the thing - the bigger teams haven't come calling.
It appears that Albon has been put in the same basket as Gasly. Whether that's fair or not is another thing, Gasly got dumped from RB and excelled in lesser cars, Albon's doing the same.
But RB and by extension the other top teams seem to hold on that these guys went to water when they had a good car against a strong teammate.
And to be fair, it's easy to look like a star when your teammate goes from Max Verstappen to Daniil Kvyat and Logan Sargeant.
Process of elimination for Albon leaves him Williams, Alpine, Haas and maybe Sauber. May as well stay with Williams if that's the case. Secure your future and see what the landscape looks like in 2027.
