In Miami, Alex Albon earned points for the second time this season. If tenth place was a pleasant surprise for Williams in the third leg of the season in Melbourne, then the result of the last leg looks natural according to Alex.
“I am very happy with the result,” said Alex Albon after the finish. – If we evaluate our work over the weekend, the result was less unexpected than in Melbourne. In two practices I got into the top ten, so overall we had speed. It has nothing to do with an empty tank or anything like that – it was our real speed, so it’s very natural to finish at the end of the top ten.
Of course I was lucky that the rivals collided in front of me, but I was right behind them and closed the gap. As I said, I’m glad the team had a strong weekend. The result in qualifying is out of the general trend and we need to figure out how to get back the pace we had in Bahrain. I think we took a step in the wrong direction.
In the early laps of the race I fought George Russell and even overtook him at one point. Then I passed Daniel Ricciardo and a group of cars in front of me. Therefore, I do not consider the points earned as a result of a lucky coincidence.
The team chose a rather daring strategy – I stayed on track when everyone else went to the pits, but we took our chances. We have to continue to act like that to earn points when there is such an opportunity.”
