Finally a F1 driver whose every essentials are not just sponsored products.
I Guess Williams doesnt have that many sponsors
*Cough Cough* Lando
@@ricardo25891263 "here are my DURACELL batteries guys i love them!" na the OMP boxers are partners with williams so that was one thing, but they are actually very good fireproofs, pretty much the benchmark of the industry
Chipotle was def sponsored, maybe the supplements also
Lando’s McLaren merch was hilarious to say the least.
Alex is the most humble and real guy on the grid period. You could almost feel like you saw a dude like him in your high school
Carlos could be in the running for that as well I think.
@@Atlas.Brooklyn No way, too much right-wing politics in Carlos for that
#blessed
@@KoeiNL so what...? Lol
Yes! It's like that kid who you didn't know very well, but were on nodding terms with
GQ: Alex, tell us a little bit about yourself
Alex: so my girlfriend Lily...
And that's so cute and sweet💕
Can’t hate this guy. Nicest driver on the grid.
Naah that would be Danny ... Oh wait he's not on the grid
@@chosenone6158 uh oh...
yup. was danny, now him.
Him and Valtteri 🙂
@@chosenone6158 are you sure about that?
lily is truly an icon
shes the best wag😌
@@f1charlie15 period 💅
Staying for that bag 🤑
@@JJ-qv8co shut it😊😊😊
theyre high school sweethearts@@JJ-qv8co
Alex is probably one of the most adorable and sweet drivers at the grid! Those little McQueen jibblitz on his crocs were everything.
the perfect ingredients for an ipad kid!
and one of the most talented for sure.
It's bizarre how half the grid looks like 20 year old college kids nowadays. As a kid I always imagined that under the helmet all drivers looked like Nigel Mansell and Keke Rosberg
Alex on GQ!!💙 I love that this didnt feel like it was entirely sponsored. Also his little smiles everytime he mentions his gf is so adorable!! Please get George Russell and Charles Leclerc to do this as well!
can't just be sponsors if the team doesn't have any
yesss please get George on!!!

@@basilavenue7719 🤣🤣🤣
@@basilavenue7719 gezuuz man!!! LOL
Alex keeping it legit showing us his real actual essentials
It's been lovely to see Alex's revival after being dropped by RB - looking forward to Williams being more competitive this season and see Alex regularly fighting for points.
Williams being more competitive
Are we living the same world ?
@@keiming2277 When I first watched F1 (as a Boy) it was the Williams Renault that was the Terror of the F1 Grid.
I've got hope.
Possibly slightly delusional hope.
But hope none-the-less.
Lol, imagine thinking Williams are going to be competitive
@@MajesticDemonLord Back then Mercedes Benz and Red Bull weren’t there and Ferrari was back of the grid
@@sanfordcurtis8242 in the points maybe, they wont be fighting for podiums
"Crocs are cool now, right?" "But they're actually quite embarrassing."
Alex is such a sweet guy, and the fact he talks so much about Lily makes my heart melt
Just wanna take a moment of gratitude here to GQ for bringing on all types of guests, literally I never thought that I'd see my boy Alex on here + GQ if your reading this I'm gonna keep grinding on my youtube videos and one day Imma feature on here.
bro that's factsss Alex a real legend man
@@getnow2331 media did him dirty
@FVBAT well alex is not exactly english
@@LiptL he has a british nationality
@@jaumegenaro7673 he's thai british racing with thai licence
Never thought alex would be on this he deserves this genuine guy and I've always supported him, top driver as well ❤️
I love Alex a lot. He seems like such a sweet guy. He is also, in my opinion, one of if not the most underrated driver on the grid right now. I really hope his 2023 season will be as good as he deserves.
In a Williams car ? Hardly
Yeah coming up against Max in as a rookie killed his hype. He's earned it back now though.
he is super fast but the red bull days made people double that
@@ntf9438 he got into a car(which everyone knows) is designed specifically to Max. The problem is max like a car that is almost un drivable by 90% of drivers. Chuck max into a new team next to an established driver he would really struggle I.m.o. he has driven for red bull for his entire career. He is a prime example of "its the car not the driver" max only won once the car was the best(we shall ignore 21 because it was 50/50 and a dodgy decision won it) he was outclassed that year and won on a fluke... the dominant 22 makes me think it genuinely was fixed... passing of the torch moment
That's my boy 🙌
Proud dad moment
I was looking for you in the comments
Probably the fastest I've clicked on one of these videos. And it paid off. Didn't expect Alex to be on here; comes across as really authentic and 'un'sponsored.
Love learning more about Albon! He’s one of my favorite drivers on the grid!
I really like Alex. Very down to earth, very likable. I'm so glad he was given another chance in F1. He deserves to be there.
I love how he is constantly mentioning Lily. 😊
he's so real & relatable. an ipad kid, a mark wiens enthusiast, a simp for lily. a great dude frfr
Alex is such a lovely guy, class act, always love watching him talk about whatever.
Alex is honestly a cinnamon roll, you can tell he’s down to earth and got education, not very common to see that on the grid. Love him ❤
What a ridiculous comment. ‘Alex is honestly a cinnamon roll’ - stupid comment
Alex is honestly such a chill and humble guy, these essentials were actually relatable to for once
I root for him !! He seems so down to earth and grateful for the opportunities he has had. And the relationship he has with his girlfriend seems to be genuine and pure! Refreshing to see at the paddock!
I was already pre-rolling my eyes because a lot of these previous ones have been "here are the products I'm sponsored to sell you and here is why they are so great, wink wink." I mean honestly, who is that fooling when every essential you have has a big name brand on it, but this was just refreshing to just hear Alex talk about stuff I genuinely believe he uses. This is what's interesting about people, not what they NEED to sell us.
Alex is such a nice guy, always has a smile and is so humble and kind. He is not a jerk, he just is a genuine person and is just so nice and respectful.
Love the humility with the essentials. You can tell he appreciates the little things in life. Right on Albon!
omg it’s miles better than lando’s ad campaign video..loved it
Lily thank you so much for educating Alex to apply SPF👍🏻
Best episode so far. Every item felt real and not like a sponsor ship.
Love this so happy to see Alex on here! Here’s hoping 2023 is a great season for him!
Thank you for this GQ! We love Alex! ❤️ Can you invite Charles Leclerc next please?
So happy to see Alex! He´s one of the nicest drivers on the grid right now. :)
love Alex! seems like such a great guy x also him & lily are the cutest
Almost 9 minutes of Alex talking about Lily😂❤
I love Alex, he is so humble and nice! Hope he can get better results this season, I would love to see that!
Alex is going to have a wonderful career in years down the road as a commentator for open wheel racing. He's a joy to listen to.
alex talking abt lilly almost everytime he mentions one of the essentials is rs goals 🥹🫶🏻
The Albon dye phase is crazy.
I love this! Alex is so genuine and adorable. And his explanations are so sweet and compelling
Yes Albono!! Thank you for keeping it real and genuine. Wishing Williams the best of luck for the season and I hope ya'll make a huge improvement.
Was nit expecting this but congrats Alex! #1 fan and it's been because you are so down to earth, helping your community and just a humble guy!
love how he always brings up lily, also, you can't don't love the guy
Accent, how he talk, and his voice are really soothing.
Guy seems super down to earth and very chill, hadn't heard of him before, but I'm a fan now, wish him all the best!
I love Alex! He's such a nice and humble guy, i hope he will do better this year :)
Good Luck Alex! 🇹🇭
I love when they bring their actual essentials

Alex!!! Glad to see him here! Thank you for making this happen!
"normal film camera' Pulls out a Contax T2. Love that into film Alex!
Legend!! Looking forward to his first race win hopefully this year Alex 🤞🤞
I love how he really can’t stop talking about lily 🥺
Love Alex! Always so kind and cool :)
The amount of times Alex said “my gf” could make this into a very dangerous video to do a drinking game with😅 But tbh I’d be bragging if I was dating Lily too
Love him so much. Hope he will be on a more competitive car in the future.
Such a great guy. And clearly so in love. Good luck next season Alex!
Alex!!! He is such a nice fun guy, great driver!!!
one of my favorite drivers on the grid
Probably the sweetest driver on the grid
Lily out here looking after Alex’s skin 😂 honestly love her
Albono!!! knew I was going to love this video even before watching it
haha the picture story fits so good with his vibe. Love it :D
This guy is so humble
Love the Eddy Merckx tshirt.
I love how Alex shoots film!
Sem comparação com Lando, ou Ricciardo... Amo o Alex, cara simples e genial.
such a down to earth guy. triggered me a little when he called an oculus quest 2 an oculus rift, but still, seems like a great guy just to be around
Love the fact that you guys included the GOAT in this video at the end.
Thank you GQ 🙏
Super GT in a GQ video, what a legend
he is such a lovely guy

Wearing Crocs and bring Chilli everywhere is very south east asian. I know you were born and raised in London but you are indeed representing Thailand. ❤
Alex Albon being just Alex
I've been waiting for this😆
Lol, he's so relatable, even though he is in his late 20s, he feels like someone my age (20). He'd be a nice friend imo

He is just the most lovely human 🥰
I love this man so much
