Alex Albon: a point to prove at Williams

He says it himself, Alex Albon is back in F1 wanting to
prove a point. After a 2020 season in which he scored his first
podiums, but ultimately failed to match Red Bull teammate Max
Verstappen, he lost his race drive and spent 2012 on the side
lines. ‘It killed me’, he says, ‘but the hunger never went away’.
Alex tells Tom Clarkson how hard he worked behind the scenes to
help Verstappen win the Drivers’ Championship, and to fight for
his F1 return with Williams in 2022. Now Alex is revitalised. He
feels smarter and more at peace with himself. He’s certainly lost
none of his skill behind the wheel - in Australia he drove
57/58 laps on a single set of tyres to score his first point for
Williams in only his third race – and his friendship with rivals
Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz is as strong as
ever. A round of golf with those guys sounds like a lot of fun…
