Another piece of the longer-term Formula 1 driver market puzzle is in place with Alex Albon committing to Williams on a "multi-year" deal. 

Why Albon's committed to a, so far in 2024, point-less Williams team and what it says about the team's progress are discussed on the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. 

Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill to dissect the logic behind the move as well as some of the key talking points ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. 

Those include Ferrari's big upgrade as well as Charles Leclerc's race engineer change. 

As ever, there are questions from The Race Members' Club too, including whether Congress intervention will help Andretti's bid to join the F1 grid.
