The driver comeback story to watch in F1 2022

After a year on the sidelines, Alex Albon returns to Formula 1 race duties with a revived Williams team. Having exceeded the Grove squad's expectations in testing, Albon is looking to make his second attempt at F1 a success - and fill the void left by the Mercedes-bound George Russell

Comeback stories are some of the best tales in sport – and motorsport is no different.

In Formula 1, the last two years have featured Fernando Alonso’s return from his sportscar, IndyCar and Dakar sojourn and his Alpine team-mate Esteban Ocon coming back with Renault after spending 2019 on the sidelines amid the fallout of the final Force India days.

There might now be a shock return for the coming season given the unexpected opening at Haas. With Nikita Mazepin and the Uralkali sponsorship dropped following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the American team has a slot to fill alongside Mick Schumacher.
