Previously a member of the Red Bull Junior Team in 2012, Albon signed for Toro Rosso in 2019, making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix.

After 12 races with Toro Rosso, Albon was promoted to parent team Red Bull, replacing Pierre Gasly to partner Max Verstappen.

Albon signed for Williams in 2022 to replace George Russell, ending his association with Red Bull at the conclusion of his first season with the team.

[11][12] In 2013 Albon joined KTR to race in the 2013 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 season alongside Yu Kanamaru and Ignazio D'Agosto finishing 16th out of 36 in the championship.

Albon managed to secure one fastest lap and one pole position in the 2013 season, both of them coming at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.

After an aborted start due to Antonio Fuoco and Sean Gelael's engines stalling on the grid, Leclerc led into the first corner, followed by Albon.

A concertina effect occurred at the Grand Hotel Hairpin as Canamasas was spun, causing Gelael to lose his front wing and bringing out a local yellow.

Albon had sustained a broken collarbone whilst out on a mountain biking training ride, and was unable to compete due to the over-the-shoulder seat belts used in Formula 2.

He confirmed that the bone was still "clearly broken" following an x-ray on the Tuesday before the race weekend, and explained that the main issue he is having in the car is a "numb feeling" from the scar he received during successful surgery after the crash.

[20][21] His place was taken by former F2 colleague Oliver Rowland, who previously competed in the 2015 Punta del Este ePrix as an injury replacement for Mahindra Racing's Nick Heidfeld.

A heavy crash in practice for the Chinese Grand Prix forced him to miss qualifying and start the race from the pit lane.

Damage caused by contact with Antonio Giovinazzi on the first lap of the Canadian Grand Prix later led to Albon's first race retirement.

Albon's best qualifying result with Toro Rosso came at the British Grand Prix with ninth place, although he failed to score points in the race.

On the mid-season change, Red Bull stated: "The team will use the next nine races to evaluate Alex's performance in order to make an informed decision as to who will drive alongside Max in 2020.

He finished fifth at both the Mexican and United States Grands Prix, despite taking damage on the opening lap and making three pit stops at the latter.

He received a penalty in the race for causing a collision with Kevin Magnussen and dropped to the back of the field before ultimately finishing eighth.

[39] After finishing his 2021 DTM campaign, he took on a coaching role for AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda starting from the 2021 Turkish Grand Prix.

[45] He was in twelfth place in the final laps of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, but failed to finish after a collision with Lance Stroll for which Albon was penalised.

[46] He scored his first point for Williams at the Australian Grand Prix by finishing tenth; he started the race from last place and made his mandatory pit stop with one lap remaining.

[49] Albon qualified eighteenth for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix and was classified ninth, his second points score of the season.

[50][51] At the British Grand Prix Albon was involved in an opening lap crash with Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon after he was hit from behind by Sebastian Vettel.

At the Belgian Grand Prix he reached Q3 for the first time with Williams, qualifying ninth and starting sixth due to grid penalties for other drivers.

He qualified eleventh at the São Paulo Grand Prix but a puncture caused his retirement from the sprint, demoting him to the back of the grid for the race.

[61] He qualified fifteenth at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, failing to set a time in Q2 due to front wing damage.

Albon started ninth at the Canadian Grand Prix, executed a successful one-stop strategy and held behind the faster cars of Sergio Pérez and George Russell for much of the race to finish seventh, his best result thus far for Williams.

[64] Despite staying on slick tyres during a rain shower in the early laps and dropping to fifteenth place, he recovered to finish eighth.

Albon and teammate Sargeant started fifth and sixth respectively for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but both failed to score in the race, finishing 12th despite the timing of safety car going against them.

He qualified and finished outside the top ten at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, with the team stating that both drivers were dealing with engine overheating issues during the race.

[74] Albon then qualified 10th for the Canadian Grand Prix[75] but retired from the race whilst running in the points on lap 52 after Carlos Sainz spun into him sending him into the wall.

He was driving for the Italian outfit AF Corse alongside Formula 2 driver Liam Lawson, with financial backing from Red Bull and AlphaTauri.
