[Tobi Grüner] We hear Albons chassis can't be repaired over night & will go back to the factory tomorrow. Albon might get the only running car that's left if there is a realistic chance of points & if Sargeants contract allows Williams to make the swap.

Damn that sucks for Logan. Looking at only this race, from a purely logical perspective, I do get it. But even if we take empathy out of the equation, I'm not sure if this would be the optimal move when you take the rest of the season into account. Showing confidence in Logan and letting him have a go surely would help him a lot, and might increase his performance over the rest of the season. Especially if he does perform decently. By giving his car to Albon they so raise their potential for points, but might absolutely shatter Logan's confidence and motivation.

Every point counts, especially now that the top 5 teams are quite a bit ahead of the rest. But damn, that's brutal
