Alex Albon hits 100th Williams F1 start with exclusive fan prize bundle

Alex Albon will race into Formula 1 history on Sunday when he makes his 100th Grand Prix start for the Williams F1 Team at the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix.

What’s happening in Budapest?

The landmark comes at the Hungaroring on 27 July, where Albon’s milestone marks the first time any Williams driver has reached triple digits in races for the team. Williams F1 has tied the achievement to a fan competition, offering one lucky entrant a prize bundle worth thousands.

How can fans get involved?

To enter, fans must complete a short form on the Williams F1 website before the Hungarian Grand Prix ends. Every entry earns five WClub points, pushing supporters closer to Champion or Legend tiers where extra rewards await during Fan Appreciation 2026.

Why this milestone matters for Albon

Albon joined Williams in 2022 and has become the team’s most experienced current driver. His 100th start caps a run that includes points finishes in each of the last three seasons, including a career-best run to fourth in last month’s British Grand Prix.

What’s next for Williams and Albon?

Williams F1 is using the milestone to boost fan engagement ahead of the summer swing through Europe. The team’s push for more podiums and wins continues, with Albon aiming to add to his tally in the second half of the season.

Albon’s 100th race arrives just days before the Hungarian Grand Prix lights up the Hungaroring on 27 July.
