- Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse made an excellent start to the 2021 DTM season thanks to Liam Lawson's Saturday debut victory and a fourth place for Alex Albon in Race One at Monza.
Monza's Royal Park hosted the DTM for the first time in its history and is the home event for the Italian-based Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse team as F2 driver Lawson and F1 driver Albon jumped over from other series.
After the switch from Class One regulations to GT3 race cars, the entry list for Monza included cars from five manufacturers - and two Ferraris, for the first time in the history of the series.
In Saturday's Race One, 19-year-old New Zealander Lawson highlighted his immense talent with victory over Mercedes-AMG Team HRT duo Vincent Abril (MON) and Maximilian Götz (GER) to make it a debut win in nine out of the 10 cars that he has raced during his motorsport career.
After the morning's qualifying session, not everybody might have bet on Lawson however - starting from seventh - the DTM rookie gave a stunning performance in his #30 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020.
This was compounded by the perfect work of the Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse team at the pit stop, after which Lawson was unchallenged with Thailand's Albon also managing to shine thanks to a strong recovery in his #23 AlphaTauri Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 after starting 14th on the grid.
Lawson said: "It's such a fantastic feeling to get the win! I am over the moon. We had a nice start. I gained one or two spots off the line, which was good. We kind of knew that qualifying wasn't our true pace. In the early stages of the race I could not overtake so I waited until the earliest possible point for the pit stop. That was perfect, the guys really nailed the pit stop, so a big thank you to the team, and when I had clear air after the stop, the car was really fast."
Albon, 25, added: "We had the pace all weekend but qualifying was pretty disappointing. It was so close out there and we ended up in P14. The race itself was really good. P14 to P4 - we obviously have to be really happy with that. First and foremost a big credit to the team. Just look at the pit stops they did; that was incredible. That helped us a lot. We also had some nice overtakes ,which was fun. Congratulations to Liam; he had a great race."
Sunday's Race Two saw Albon start from 12th place on the grid and finish in seventh position with Lawson in 14th place after he span early starting from second, which saw him slip down the field.
Lawson came up trumps again in Sunday qualifying despite carrying an extra success ballast of 25 kilograms, missing out on pole in his #30 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 by just a few hundredths of a second.
Lawson now sits in second place in the drivers standings with 27 points and Albon fifth with 18 points as Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse lead the teams' standings with 45 points ahead of the second event of the season in the DTM 2021 from July 23-25 at the Lausitzring in Germany.

Yeahhh Red Bull we're gonna need these videos after every DTM race. Alex and Liam seem so chill.
Albon seems so much more at ease than he ever was at red bull in f1
@@andrewd244 The F1 team pressure levels are clearly absolutely insane. Alex sounded like a broken man at times.
@@rhyswilliams4893 he always gave me a nervous child vibe at red bull, like a kid on their first day at a new school
Albon had some personal issues that limited his growth in some respects. He became the man of the house at a young age. Glad to see him relaxed and breathing.
Agree the more racing content the better. 😂 have to fill those non racing weekends
albon from p14 to p4 is outstanding and the win from liam is magnificent!
Liam dont have points though
@@kuroneko-_5570 what?
@@bulkiersphinx1344 oh sorry. What i meant is in race 2. He spun .
@@kuroneko-_5570 he got dumped ala NASCAR from what I saw
@@truedarklander yeah. He was hit from the rear.
This looks like a weekend with the boys compared to F1
That’s because they’re incomparable in competition and size…
@@DaveEd2499. I know, the contrast is just funny to see on videos ;)
@@DaveEd2499. no shit Sherlock
agreed,even with the fancy looking ferrari doesn't feel good after watching f1
@d c not racing? Millions are excited to watch f1.
The alpha Tauri livery looks so good on every car it’s put on.
Because they’re fashion company right? If I’m not mistaken😂
@@LeeMooEez yeaahh you're right
I don't know anything about cars but the way Alex describes the car issues makes it so clear, no wonder he helped the development of this year's redbull and they're closer to get the championship. Checo was right to hype Alex's contributions to the cars setups
the engineers in the redbull garage really likes Albon and i think they want him to stay for 2021 but of course they're not the one who to decide who will drive
albon deserves another chance in F1. he only had half of a season experience before moving to a top team and he can compete if the car is more stable than 2020 red bull. brazil 2019, austria 2020 seemed like a win better pace better tyres, podiums in mugello and bahrain, almost caught lewis in abu dhabi for p3. definitely deserves another shot
@@sutanrizkyardiansyahdaulay3847 He’s not as consistent as Checo but yeah he deserves to atleast be in alpha
@@hifriend7581 I agree with u on that
@@hifriend7581 yeah i agree checo has much more experience and his ability to preserve tyres has been a big role strategy wise for red bull
Gives me a sense of relief to see albon busy doing something he loves!
If Red Bull pull it off this season, he deserves massive credit there as well, his sim work and feedback has really improved them
Go on Alex
@@Duval-In-The-Wall Phenomenal team work!!!
Red bull will drop him completely in a couple years then he'll be done racing definitely without the money
"They race me so hard"
@@Charliechorizo he should be sitting on his couch not racing, easily the worst driver in racing right now and the worst ever F1 driver, no one even comes close to how bad albon was
Liam: I hit like 5 different people this race.
Alex: yeah, Hamilton’s hit me twice….
I'll support my alex boy anywhere he goes
Same, I just hope it's F1.
Whilst not exactly a fan of his he should have been in that Alpha Tauri seat instead of Yuki.
@@xaviervelez8835 i hope not
@@boostav naaah yuki had more potencial then alnoob
even if they race him 2 hard?
Liam winning races in DTM while winning races in F2 has put this dude on my radar
Seems like a nice down to earth bloke too, I look forward to seeing him in the Red Bull F1 team!
Liam: Whines
Albon: Haha... u thinku know pain
Liam’s 10 times the driver tho
@@aaronmacrae6506 hmmmmm
Omen?
@@aaronmacrae6506 Lol
@@aaronmacrae6506 alex was chasing an issue for most of the weekend though
Seems so different and lowkey compared to the hype of F1 but that makes it so refreshing to watch too, pretty charming.
WE WANT MORE OF THIS PLUS WE MISS ALBONO. He deserves to be in F1 and would have done wonders in Alpha Tauri this year.
Really tho! He didn’t even get a second chance in Alpha tauri like Gasly did😤
Yeah but alpha Tauri has the soul purpose of getting potential rb drivers and j don’t think their gonna want Albon racing again. I do and a lot of ppl do but not rb
Like old BTCC, great stuff!
@@_andrew-pn9yn ...they took Kyvat and Pierre back from RB though so your reasoning is contrary to what is actually practiced by RB.
I think its more to do with lack of sponsors for Albon rather than what you said.
@@noblestar7742 Albon had a lot of support from the Thai owners at Red Bull, but checo also has mexican billionaires backing him.
It came down to Honda pushing Tsunoda up and pressure to keep them happy for the engine project.
Alex’s Alpha Tauri car is beautiful
it is a looker that's for sure, love the alphatauri liveries
Alex is definitely one huge asset. Helping out Max and Checo. Great brand ambassador. Insanely talented driver and most of all a winner 👍
Liam is very excited and is talking most of the time
Meanwhile Alex: Yes.................................................good
He just misses F1... he wants to be back after Redbull Dropped him
Pretty talkative, isn't he? Might be the type that would get along with pretty much anybody.
Bro Alex has been dead inside since like race 4 of the F1 season last year
I mean. After racing in F1, racing DTM isn't as exciting.
That's how Alex normally talks in an interview anyway
The ultimate team : Redbull Ferrari 😎
Torrorosso: Am I a joke to you
It's Toro Rosso.
It's a toro Rosso
Guys torrorosso means red bull in Italian so it's the same thing
@@donut_3370 Ok.
"It slides... *does snake movements with hands* ... it slides... like a Kangaroo!" - Alex Albon
I think hes trying to say that while sliding and he tried to apply gas, the car jumps erratically...
@@noblestar7742 orrrr he was just lowkey talking about how horner treats his drivers
@@Lockdif_4xfuelsave haha lol but i really think horner is pretty decent though...marko is a bit of an a$$ imho lol i mean it in not so genative way, dude just spit out whatever he think sometimes with no care.
like how he thinks infecting the drivers with covid to make them stronger...like thats a very rough joke.
@@noblestar7742 lol did not know about that lmfao who is this kid, but yeah just banter hes pretty dece :)
I'm very happy for Alex. He contributes a lot to the F1 team for their success and he is genuinely a nice guy. Glad RB keeps him he has a bright future
It's very nice to see Alex Albon again 😎✌🏻
I love how there is a Bonk Motorsport team
Cultured🍻
Bonk bonk bonk😂😂
*🅱️ONK*
@@LogieT2K S🅱️onkalla
Liam and Alex just talking like they're bros, but also doing well at DTM from the start... you love to see it
Whoever shot and edited this needs a raise! Liam and Alex seem like great teammates.
Liam seems pretty chill and friendly. I have a good feeling that this pair may go pretty far. Good luck boys.
Awww yeah the first "face" lol. I always like to win the first face. Very glad to see Alex and Liam doing well. Great to see them succeeding.
It was a test see if you're paying attention 😅
Idk why but DTM winners sounds so much less hyped up than Formula 1
Maybe the budget , media coverage and sponsorship don't allow it
The radios are worse and formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport so people are alot more hyped to win there
because it's not as prestigious
DTM is pretty dead this year if I remember correctly. Previously they are racing prototypes and this year it's all GT3. A lot of the drivers, especially the good ones are gone this year. So effectively they are just a GT3 series with the DTM name.
Have the Mercedes teams complained about your pitstops in DTM already?
Bigggggg oof
Best Comment....... Wahahahah enjoyed it
Hahaha
Pink mercedes?
@@sani6058 grey
nice editing, not overdone; not forcing anything
Simillar to mclaren unboxed
juste an overdose of Lawson "Me, Myself and I" with annoying Brit accent
@@simonrano8072 very much not a British accent lmao
@@simonrano8072 British accent??
Some more race clips to give an idea of how the race unfolded for the drivers would be nice. I know there were quite a few but more is always best 😁
Yesss Go Kiwi!! Great behind the scenes content and Albon & Lawson seem to get along really well too which is cool
Everyone talking about the editing and driver
Meanwhile me: 0:35 *BONK MOTORSPORTS*
Go to Horner jail
@@Louis_Bautista What a gem of a comment
Ohhhhh OH NOOO Hahahaha
Ohhhhh OH NOOO Hahahaha
Ohhhhh OH NOOO Hahahaha
The 2021 DTM season was something else.
Great content, very well made, one of the best videos of the behind the scenes of a race that i've ever seen. Great the interactions between Albon and Lawson too, those made me laugh😂
Alex and Liam looks so great, we gonna need more of these two
It's so good to see Alex happy and racing.
This was really nice I'm so excited for Alex and Liam. I really like discovering a new motorsport too. I had heard about DTM but never quite took it up and I love it already.
It's on the edge of failing so hopefully this will bring I'm more new fans
Dtm is epic
@@rhyswilliams4893 tell us more
@@Rossoneri2 The series already collapsed, this is "new" dtm. The series used to have much faster specially made cars. Then Mercedes quit a few years ago to spend the money on Formula E instead, leaving only Audi and BMW before Audi suddenly quit because of Covid + Formula E. To save the series they switched to using GT3 cars, the same as many other series - so its not tied to historic DTM anymore.
I guess it was inevitable, but its a shame so many manufactures have left other motorsports for the cheaper and more consumer friendly marketing they get from Formula e. WEC, DTM, IMSA have all been hurt badly in recent years.
Alex’s AT lid is sick 🔥🔥
Finally, actual DTM highlights
Alex is not only demoted from F1, but also back to Alpha Tauri
These insight video's are sooo cool, never seen the teamplay and tactics this close. Thanks Red Bull, you just keep improving!
Albon is outstanding at understanding the car and its mechanics, no wonder he is developing the F1 car and improving it!
An all round fantastic guy and so happy to see him doing great in DTM, finishing 10 positions higher than you started is fantastic.
Please give us more Alex content Red Bull!!!
Great VLOG video. Keep them coming :o) Congrats to Liam!
The team mate duo we didn’t think we needed
Doing a standing start at the lights, absolutely loving it
Great to watch, need more of these please
WOW!!!! Really like it!!!! awesome stuff
I like this, and I like your drivers. More of this please.
Love the big Harvz reference "WHAT A DAY" Liam immediately laughing...great chemistry between these two and great video!
awesome vid, real emotions and no canned pr statements. love it
I am happy that Alex and Liam are doing well in DTM at the same time I miss them on their respective formula races
great video, I love this type of content
Glad you enjoy it!
Yeah thanks from new Zealand
More of those please!!
P7 to P1 is really nice

Albon sucks
@@redbullsauberpetronas your life sucks even more if you come to these videos just to spew hate
really good pairing of drivers and really nice video to watch
Best series I have ever watched. No bs
Im glad too see albon
With all the greatest respect to DTM, Albon should be in F1.
Hes never coming back deal with it
@@redbullsauberpetronas lol a lot of hate

I think he proved that he shouldn't.
Liam is a class act, he's going to go very far.
Amazing pilots and team
Keep on going Alex! We wanna see you kicking ass!!!
Great footage and results, this is top.
So great to see albon doing a great job!! Love the inside POV from the car
Nice hearing some of the feedback that the drivers give! Alex and Liam seem so chill and level headed.
Also LOL at playing Spice Girls (nod to Christian Horner).
Now I know where is Albon in the 2021.
Loving this content!
i really do want him back in f1
He's never coming back accept it
it's done
well you need to be fast enough, not just a 'nice guy'
Alex and Liam are already my favourite teammate duo
Nice to see Alex. Wish him all the best for his racing career.
7:02 That leafy building looks surreal. Like some concept drawing.
Absolutely thrilled that DTM is getting screentime again. I was hooked in the nineties. Closest cars will ever get to an F1
Well, the old DTM anyway. These are "just" DTM cars.
Closest to cars to F1 are the F2's. Am I missing something?
@@luizarthurbrito well like carscars you know? Not singleseaters. They also have DRS and pretty much F1-engines
