The extension keeps Albon, 28, with Williams
into F1's new regulation era that begins in 2026.
"I am incredibly happy to be remaining with Williams Racing and
to continue working with such a talented and dedicated team of
people," Albon said.
Albon is still looking for his first top-10 finish this season
and is coming off an 18th-place showing at Miami.
"It has been a difficult start to the year but since joining
Williams we have made significant progress together and I have
seen the huge changes happening behind the scenes to take us
back to the front of the grid," Albon said.
"This is a long-term project that I really believe in and want
to play a key role in which is why I have signed a multi-year
contract. The journey will take time but I am confident we are
building the right team to move forward and achieve great things
in the years to come."
Albon, who previously drove for Red Bull from 2019-21, finished
13th in the drivers' standings last season.
