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, he was promoted to parent team Red Bull, replacing Pierre Gasly to partner Max Verstappen. In 2020, he took his maiden podium finishes at the Tuscan and Bahrain Grands Prix, becoming the first Thai driver to achieve a podium in Formula One. Replaced by Sergio Pérez in 2021, Albon continued as a reserve driver for Red Bull and the re-branded AlphaTauri, contesting the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters with Red Bull AF Corse alongside Liam Lawson. Albon signed for Williams in 2022 to replace George Russell, ending his association with Red Bull at the conclusion of his first season. He has remained at Williams through the 2025 season.
