Alexander Albon seems te be under pressure because of his performance during the first three races of this season, but the Thai himself is satisfied with his own performance. He does acknowledge that there is enough to improve on the RB16.

During the Austrian Grand Prix Albon still came close to winning, but seen over the three races the pace of Albon is still somewhat lacking. The gap to teammate Max Verstappen is huge and that translates to a big gap in qualifying, but also during the race.

Albon quite satisfied

''I'm pretty pleased with the start of the season myself. In Austria I competed for the victories and the races after that I fought for P4 and P5. Maybe it's because of my lack of experience that I have more problems with the car," Albon said at the press conference for the UK Grand Prix.

The Red Bull Racing car isn't quite to Thai taste yet. ''We'll lose a lot to the competition over a whole lap and the car is sometimes just hard to drive'', says Albon, complemented by Verstappen. The car needs to be improved in all respects'', the Dutchman concludes.
