Alexander Albon had a fantastic race in Italy, moving from P14 on the grid to an impressive seventh place at the finish line. Thus, Albon demonstrated in Monza why he is considered one of the most consistent drivers in the midfield. “It was quite easy,” he said.
The Williams driver completed an impressive 42 laps on hard tyres from the start, a strategy that helped him overtake many competitors. “The tyre wear was good, and we also had the speed. That was the case all weekend, we just didn’t show it in the qualifiers.”
However, things turned around during the race. Albon said, “The drivers ahead of me were getting new tyres, but I just kept going. We were getting faster and faster with each lap we drove. Honestly, it was a pretty easy race.”
Albon has now overtaken Kimi Antonelli in the World Championship standings, taking over the seventh spot from the young Italian. However, the battle between the drivers of Williams and Mercedes is far from over. “I believe we will continue to fight with Kimi until Abu Dhabi,” predicts Albon.
