      He races under the Thai flag, dts is completely comercial, they don't care about Alex nor Williams, unfortunately.

      I know. Ithink they overplayed the Haas team at the expense of the others. Also, the fact that there was not an entire episode on Vettel's career is a crime.

    I have followed Alex since his first day in F1, and he quickly became my favorite driver. Smooth, intelligent and respectful to the other drivers. That was the characteristics that I saw in him. I think George, Sebastian and Lewis share those as well. I'll be team Albon till the day he leaves. What a guy!

    How i wish this interview was longer 😊 Alex is such an eloquent and humble guy...and i love how his journey into F1 wasnt as straight cut as some of the other drivers had, but that's what makes his journey even more inspring to others. I do hope for a really good 2023 season for him and i hope he gets a chance to be fighting for podiums agan and really show what he can do in a good car with the maturity he has as a driver now.

    Alex is a real example of the power of self-belief and tenacity. He's been knocked back so many times and always come back stronger. I think he could become a real talisman driver for Williams in the mould of Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg and even Nigel Mansell.

    great and genuine lad all around. everytime they get him on the mic on one of the broadcasts he is the funniest. he's the only driver i actually feel like supporting based on personality and story alone. hope he has a long career in and then out of f1.
    i love the part about making a spreadsheet of comparison with gasly and perez. the actual numbers of his stint in red bull show that he didnt do nearly as bad as the media and red bull PR grossly exaggerated. perez's first 26 red bull races had an average finish of only about 0.6 higher than albons 26 race stint had.
    and perez was on his 10th and 11th season in f1 compared to alex's 1st and 2nd.

    Albon went through Hell and back. Williams has given him the rare chance of redeeming himself. He now has the benefit of contrast, knowing what it's like to be in an elitist toxic culture and the ridiculously complex car characteristics. He is now in a team that has developed an invigorated and positive team culture , thanks to the new and enlightened Boss. The car now suits Alex like a glove. The team is now built around him and this is rare indeed. I wish Albon will stay where he is, with Williams. This team has finally got onto a growth trajectory and there is no stopping it. Took a long time but it has finally started. Albon should ride this burgeoning wave with Williams. Ignore the suggestions, appearances and temptations that are beckoning you. You have been there and you know: the grass is Not always greener

    I’m one of his biggest fan since his RB days. It was so stressful during that time because everyone is saying he is not good enough to be in the sport and cyber bullying him. Nothing makes me happier than seeing him coming back to F1 and prove himself that he is more than capable and of course he worked very hard. Can’t wait to see more what he can achieve!

  • @Redlingstein
    @Redlingstein Рік тому +2

    Every F1 fan should watch this interview with Alex. His story gives so much insight and understanding of F1, his journey and the challenges they face. And we all want this guy to succeed. That’s why we all cheer so loud when Alex gets to Q3, earns points. He was too inexperienced and mentally not strong enough in the RB. He truly needed another year to develop in Toro Rosso…. too bad, he could’ve been a strong teammate for Max 1year later. Now, at Williams he can use his skills and strategic insights to earn them important points AND develop the car. I hope they give Logan a 2nd year…..or, if Yuki might lose his seat at AT….Yuki next to Alex would be a great duo as well

    The facts that Alex did as great job as Russell in Williams and not a lot of people seeing that. He's way underrated driver. Hope he will be in a Mercedes alone side Russell in the future. He deserves that.

      Williams is in a better place financially now. Hopefully the team can now build a better car for Alex and able to fight for the midfield.
      When George was with Williams, the team was complete dog shit with Claire Williams running the organization. Everything is look bright for Alex and Williams. Let’s go Albono!!

    I love this guy. Surely, I am Thai, and he races with the Thai flag, but he is a talent racer and nice man. I felt like it was too early to become the RBR driver at that time, he needed more experience for it. Cheer up! Alex.

    @Jess-vx1eg Рік тому +10

    Love this video 💙 Alex is such a lovely guy and his past is so inspiring. Not just for aspiring racing drivers but for everybody who has gone through or IS going through difficulties in their life. He's proving that not giving up and doing the best with the cards you were dealt can pay off. And also that winning is not EVERYTHING. Being ✨️ happy ✨️ is.
    Will be rooting for him during this upcoming season. 🥳
    Something he mentioned in the video that shocked me, though:
    Formula 2 drivers don't get payed for their driving? 😯 Really?
    Are their parents and families paying for all of their expenses? Their sponsorships? Or how are they able to pay their bills if that is the case? 🤔 Does anybody know?

    • @cpcxgsr
      @cpcxgsr Рік тому +1

      When Alex said they “don’t make any money”, he doesn’t mean it in the literal sense. F2 drivers do get paid ($200-$500 per race). But the drivers needs to find personal sponsors that are will to pay the drivers enough to only stay afloat… since the drivers have to pay for housing, travel, and other miscellaneous expenses… F2 drivers salaries (if you don’t have big name sponsors backing your career), it’s not enough to make a professional career out of it.
