Yeah, so Albon all but confirmed he said it was a contract extension, which basically if it's an extension, it means it's the current contract that's being extended. matched

So as you've suggested, um these things often have there are options to extend things. matched

Either both parties mutually want it to go forwards, or you've triggered a performance positive performance clause, or you've decided not to trigger a negative performance clause. matched

If the the team's too far down you could have a way out, you don't take the up and then it automatically extends. matched

So whatever the mechanisms were, it's a contract extension for Alex into next year. matched

And he says he wants to see matched

progress from Williams next year before he commits longer term, he wants to s prove that their understanding of what's gone wrong this year is correct. matched

The countermeasures they've put in place for next year do help push things forward. matched

So I he wants to make it work at Williams, but he wants to see see the evidence come out on track. matched

Whereas Carlos was much more definitive about that expectations have been matched

So high after twenty twenty five with the the podiums all above what he was anticipating. matched

And Williams had openly talked about twenty six being the year that gone super early to create the car. matched

So everything was all lined up for the you know, big step forward this year, pushing on, potentially fighting what you'd expect if you're improving on twenty five, more podiums, even wins, and it fell totally flat as Carlos signed. matched

Said they were late with a car, it was overweight, and it didn't have enough downforce. matched

So three factors that aren't ideal for a competitive F1 car. matched

But he was quite clear that Carlos doesn't see himself as someone who abandons a project just because there's a bump in the road. matched

That it's not been easy. matched

Especially not when there's not better options elsewhere, he said cynically. matched

Uh he said cynically. matched

Um matched
