In a column for The Players’ Tribune, Alex Albon reminisced about 2019 when he replaced Pierre Gasly mid-season…
Alex Albon: “The first time I drove the RB15 and drove a few series, I thought of Pierre and said to myself: “I understand. I understand you, friend.”
Honestly, I don’t want to cast a shadow on anyone from Red Bull Racing, Max or anyone else, but this car is set up in a unique way, it’s built around the lead driver, and this is Max. And of course I understand why.
He may be the greatest driver of all time, but he has a very special style of driving. He likes it when the car is tuned in a certain way, which is not suitable for many other drivers. Of course you can tinker with and adjust the car yourself, but in general it fits more with Max’s style.
I like the greater sensitivity of the front axle and steering. When I drove George and Charles my settings were more forward than theirs, but when I got behind the wheel of the Red Bull… turn.
If you play Call of Duty or a similar game, turn the sensitivity of all settings to maximum and you will understand what it was like to fly this car.
