Alexander Albon is back in Formula 1 this season. In the past, the driver has worked for Red Bull Racing where he was a teammate of Max Verstappen. The Thai driver still has a lot of respect for Verstappen, he told in an interview with Formule1.nl.
The Dutchman has had a very successful season by winning the world championship and thus taking his first world title. The performance does not surprise Albon at all, because the new driver of Williams has experienced for years how many qualities Verstappen has.
According to Albon, Verstappen is very direct in his communication. "He is confident, but certainly not arrogant. He's just confident in what he does," stated Albon, who is impressed by Verstappen's behaviour. "Max is actually a very ordinary guy. Especially when you consider how famous he is and what he has already achieved."
Albon returns to Formula 1
Albon is the successor at Williams to George Russell who is making the move to Mercedes. It will be a great challenge for Albon, who joins the stable with Nicholas Latifi, to match the Briton's achievements. Russell scored a whopping sixteen points for his team in 2021.
