Williams' driver Alex Albon had to sit out FP2 due to car damage, potentially leading to him using Logan Sargeant's car. Williams decided to have Albon race instead of Sargeant, causing Sargeant to miss the remainder of the Australian GP weekend. Team principal James Vowles expressed difficulty in rebuilding Sargeant's confidence after the decision. Williams is now rushing to repair Albon's crashed chassis for the upcoming race in Japan, lacking a spare tub in time.
