    Mild-mannered Alex shows why he deserves to be back in F1, drives like stink and even scares himself. And yet he still keeps smiling and laughing. What a driver! Would love to be a passenger with him at the wheel 🏎👌👏

      If Albon can make Lawson feel like a scared passenger like that then he must be a great driver, the lap looked fast and aggressive but controlled, now imagine how good Verstappen is.

    We watch F1 and naturally rank the drivers. Yeah - he's doing OK, he's a bit slow, he has no hope etc. We forget that these are 20 of the very best of the very best and Albon's car control (and self control) are why he's there. Fabulous to watch and that engine note... Lordy. How I miss my beautiful 964!
