    Last year during the Italian GP in Monza, de Vries did an FP session for Aston Martin. That same weekend Albon had a sudden case of appendicitis, taking him out of the GP for urgent medical treatment. Since de Vries was already present, Williams decided to put him in Albons seat. He finished the race 10th, after which multiple teams were considering to give him a seat for the 2023 season.

    Edit: it was 9th position.

      People seem to forget half the grid took an engine penalty that weekend, and that track was particularly suited to the williams. Wasn’t impressive in the least.
