Albon declares: 'If something changes at the last minute'

Alexander Albon will return to Formula 1 this season. The Thai will be working for Williams, where he will have the difficult task of succeeding George Russell. The driver is nevertheless relaxed about the new season, he said in an interview with Speedweek.com.

The driver started his career at Toro Rosso, after which he got the chance at Red Bull Racing. Albon had to replace Pierre Gasly in the current season and in the year and a half that followed did not manage to come close to the performance of Max Verstappen. Therefore, the Austrian racing team opted to recruit Sergio Perez.

However, it did not cause Albon to give up his dream of driving longer in Formula 1. Perez worked hard behind the scenes at Red Bull and thus had the opportunity to sign a contract with Williams after one season. To that the driver decided to go, so he will start in Bahrain in a few weeks.

Albon seems to have a calm character, but this is far from always the case. In the interview, he honestly admits that he can get angry sometimes. "If something changes at the last minute," Albon explains. "When you have something figured out and then suddenly everything is different. That gets on my nerves."
