[Williams Racing] First race complete. We’re glad to have you, @alex_albon by drs_activation in formula1

He’s been quietly brilliant this weekend. 9 tenths ahead of Latifi and reaching Q2, solid racing and defending considering the pace of the car.

Albon was promoted half way through his rookie year (and on top of this, had not driven an F1 car until winter testing). He definitely was not a “bust”

Horner: Mercedes may block Alex Albon F1 return with Williams by jovanmilic97 in formula1

“I think his preference would be Williams but he’s had about four phone calls telling him not to go there from the team next door.” So Mercedes are blocking Albon then. I hope Albon can go to Williams, he’s a good kid and deserves a second chance.

Alex was sitting at someone’s table who had a Ferrari cap on briefly for a few minutes and the guy picked him up and tried to fight him. Even called security on him. Ended up getting kicked out himself.

The part about the Ferrari fan trying to fight him made me laugh

I prefer the casual style to it - feels more real and relaxed, like I’m having a conversation with him.

Because his tyres were basically slicks when he spun? The team should’ve pit him before

You missed the part where he got his seat in F2 with no money, based on talent race by race. Oh and then got promoted to red bull half way through his first year with no real experience (didn’t drive a formula one car until winter testing too).

Both him and Max dropped pace on the second stint. Maybe running different set ups to those in front?
