Williams has confirmed Alex Albon will visit South Africa at the end of July as part of a fan roadshow with partner Super Group, after the team’s FW48 show car toured shopping centres in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.

Albon said: “Bringing F1 to the fans… is what the Williams F1 Team is all about,” while Super Group CEO Neal Menashe called it “a unique opportunity to give South Africans an unforgettable Formula 1 experience.”
