Albon downbeat: "It wasn't great to be honest"
Where Max Verstappen managed to claim a good second place in Sochi, teammate Alexander Albon didn't get further than 10th place. The British Thai struggled a lot with his RB16 and could only pick up one world championship point. The Red Bull Racing driver is therefore not very pleased with his result.
Albon qualified 10th for the race in Russia, but a change of the gearbox resulted in a grid penalty of five places. The 24-year-old driver was unable to fight his way forward quickly.
Posture says a lot
"It wasn't a great race to be honest," said an Albon said in front of the Sky Sports camera. It didn't go smoothly on the hard tyre. "I was stuck behind on the hard tyres and couldn't really overtake. It was a tricky race. It went a bit better on the mediums."
He didn't do very well in the battle for fourth place in the world championship. Albon has fierce competition from Charles Leclerc, Lance Stroll, Daniel Ricciardo, Lando Norris and Sergio Perez.
