We told you that several Formula 1 drivers will participate in the Netflix Cup golf tournament ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, including Alex Albon. At a press conference in Mexico City, the Williams driver admitted that thinking about it had already become something of a distraction.
Alex Albon: “It won’t be easy for me because I have to find time to prepare somehow. Obviously now a series of three races in a row will continue, and then there will be a week’s break, but mostly we will spend it on the road and we will also have to work on the simulator. Overall, I foresee it will be difficult to find time for training.
We have a lot to worry about because the tournament is being broadcast on international television and I actually think about that more than about the upcoming races, which is a problem! (laughs)
If we talk about racing, in Austin we continued a kind of scoring streak, because in Qatar we earned points in the sprint, and the American weekend was the second in a row when we entered the top ten.
Although we have not had any significant technical innovations for quite some time, the car made a good impression, but the battle in the middle of the pack is so fierce that the accurate execution of the task assigned to you is more important than any other. factors. In addition, it seems that the circuits where the last races took place were suitable for us.
I have no doubt that Logan Sargent, my partner, is happy to have opened the scoring for the points he earned, even though we found out on the plane. Naturally he will try to supplement this in the remaining races of the season.
Let’s see how our team is doing in Mexico City. An interesting weekend awaits us, although we did not handle this circuit in the best way last year, our car was not suited to the slow corners and this circuit is dominated by sections that have to be passed in third gear. However, we have seen more than once that the FW45 can bring us surprises.
I don’t want to say that we will earn points this weekend, but there is a good chance that we will be close. However, we can also hope that some teams will not be able to find the optimal settings, and we will be able to take advantage of this. So we have something to fight for.”
