MELBOURNE : Alex Albon put Williams in the fight for points at the Australian Grand Prix after qualifying eighth on Saturday as the best of the rest behind Formula One's top four teams.

Former champions Williams have finished 10th and last in four of the last five seasons but, with new team boss James Vowles also bringing in fresh energy, are showing signs of stirring. Albon has Max Verstappen's Red Bull, on pole position, and the two Mercedes, Ferraris and Aston Martins ahead of him on the grid.

"We were struggling with the tyres a lot in Jeddah, and the car was much quicker than it actually showed. We kind of left Jeddah disappointed because we felt like there was so much more potential in the car," said Albon.
