[autotag]Williams Racing[/autotag] has made a shocking decision ahead of the Australian Grand Prix. [autotag]Alex Albon[/autotag], who wrecked his car in practice, will replace [autotag]Logan Sargeant[/autotag] as Williams failed to bring a third chassis to Melbourne. It is a mind-boggling and unfair decision for Sargeant, who lost his ride in Australia for no reason.
Only 19 cars will be in the race in Australia as Albon continues the race weekend in Sargeant’s entry. Formula 1 teams typically have a third chassis in case the original needs to be replaced, but Williams failed to bring one to Australia. What makes this even more confusing is why Sargeant suffers the consequences of Albon’s actions.

Williams understands that Albon has been better and has more experience than Sargeant, but this move goes against the ethics of owning a race team. Hopefully, Sargeant uses this as motivation to improve and perform better. For Albon, he will try to give Williams points in Australia for the championship battles in 2024
