How do you think Alex Albon will perform in the upcoming 2024 season? 🏁
One word
Red
All aboard the Albono Williams Defense Train 😂😂😂. He's gonna have another good season with plenty of good defending and qualifying 🔥
Fantastic
he carried Williams all season, Albono was Goated in 2023
Superb!
I now understand why his backed Logan so much. Their stories are so similar, both didn’t get any testing in previous generations of F1 cars. They just got thrown to the deep end.
I agree with your point but I also think Albon is that supportive because he absolutely smashed Logan (I’m a Logan fan but let’s be real). The longer Logan is on the team the better Albon looks. It’s honestly the perfect partnership for Logan to have an experienced driver next to him that doesn’t feel threatened and is willing to be somewhat of an ally. Hopefully they can both make big gains this year 🫡
@@TheRealestRealtorsNClargely agree w both u guys,but to add a little, alex is one of the strongest drivers out there,hed been pitted against max and got slam dunked but his race pace and skill was better than daniel kvyat and gasly,also the guy was out of a drive despite being that talented,so it only makes sense alex anhilated logan in stats, I’ll be absolutely stoked if logan halves his stats next season against alex,that itself means he belongs to the grid on merit.look at oscar,he’s almost close to lando out the box and outdid him twice this season.not saying lando being more vulnerable to oscar or oscar being far too talented,but to put into context how different lando wouldve been viewed had mclaren got alex instead of dany ricc.
He was also very supportive of Yuki during his "year off."
Your all right but also a little wrong, listen to the way he speaks about/too people. Have any of you hear him say anything bad about anyone. He supports Logan because he knows how difficult this sport is and wants him to do well. He was ousted himself and with his personality he’s never gonna want that for Logan. I don’t think the fact that he’s(Logan) is slower has anything to do with his support.
You know multiple F1 drivers look terrible their rookie year right? You're comparing a guy with 4 years experience to 1 year lmfao. @@TheRealestRealtorsNC
In every video I find of Alex he comes across as a knowledgeable, well-spoken, and generally switched-on guy. He always seems to be put in a difficult position and I'm glad he could showcase his talent at Williams without the pressure of RB. He's got a lot more in his F1 career and I'm glad to see him doing well.
Because he's an intelligent lad. Did well in school
@@NicotineRosberg whenever i see him talk, all i think of is "a gentleman and a scholar"
dude is well spoken, soft voice, really articulate, extremely nice, loving and chill, and dude is super intelligent and funny
his grill the grid videos are amazing, he's such a cool guy to root for
ALBON FOR MERCEDESSSSSSSSSSS
I’ve been around him twice, and he is such a normal, good person, that you can’t help but want him to succeed. He was a kid at the time, and even into his time at Red Bull, but it’s night and day to what he’s grown up into.
Probably the nicest guy in F1: humble, mild-mannered, intelligent and hugely talented. I hope Alex’s career goes from strength to strength.
Hearing Alex talk is always a treat. Well-spoken and clearly a very humble dude.
Toto needs to sign this guy for 2025. He is a real one and deserves a better chance at a top team than RB gave him.
I actually met Alex Albon at a Bang and Olufsen event in Dubai. My claim to fame was beating his time on the simulator they had set up (I was top of the leaderboard at the time), though to be fair he'd only had two laps on it, after only just walking in, and it wasn't a sim he'd played before. In any case, he was a stand up dude. Polite, friendly, plus open to some banter and jokes too. I genuinely wish him all the success going forward, and feel that had he had more time and confidence in an F1 car prior to his Red Bull stint, he'd have gone much, much further.
I have a similar one. I beat Damon Hill on a Sim and have the vids / photos to prove. That said, he messed about and didnt even bother left foot braking.
He is half Thai mate… and Thais are known to be polite and humble folks
I beat Fanjio on a donkey in Italy 😅
What humility. This guy is awesome.
A bit of a click bait... Albon didn't even talk about his f1 salary.
By far the most thoughtful and intelligent F1 driver, with none of the cliched language ("for sure" etc). As he matures he will steadily improve and there are signs of that already. I hope he gets a deserved top tier drive very soon.
the reason why i love Alex tbh George, Lando and Alex have an amazing friendship that i would’ve thought could’ve turned sour but they also have a lot of respect for each other and it’s so cool idk sometimes when you play for different teams it’s gonna be hard because everyone puts you against each other
bruh the man is manning, with every video i see about him, I like him more as a driver and a human
Yeah .....same here. Such a down to earth person.
Big fan of this guy, a genuinely good character. Wish all the best for him.
Alex is such an honest and down to earth guy. He's a formula 1 driver but so humble.
It's good to see SuperGT finally getting an interview.
A normal person who made it to F1. On the other hand, you had Norris practicing on circuits around Europe privately with former F1 drivers as preparation for his debut. Totally different.
Alex seems like a decent bloke. I feel he got done a little dirty by RB, and I hope he has good success in his future racing career
Albono just needs a good team with a great car minus the toxic environment, He'll show everyone up imho.
Glad I had the chance to meet him last year.
Not sure if I’m reading into it to much but he clearly seems unsettled by talking about his redbull experience even now. His whole demeanour changed when talking about it and that experience.. kinda disturbing to think what he must’ve gone through back then
I think they put him in the superhot seat too soon. IMO he hadn't matured enough for that torture chair.
Formula 1 is also ruthless and to be fair a lot of drivers on the grid do come from a red bull seat.
yes you can definitely tell. im glad hes feeling better now but also red bull is known to be super cutthroat even for f1
@@BeastRobinn Red Bull is super ruthless even by F1 standards. Also the key words there are "come from" meaning that most don't last in the Red Bull ecosystem for long and move on to other teams.
the second RB team is basically just there to find the next big talent. At the beginning of a driver's career, Helmut Marko and co. want to look just at the raw talent of a young driver. The world champion drivers have all one thing in common, and that would be being fast the second you put him into the car. Not particular faster than everyone else but just instantly there and the talent is showing. Michael Schumacher was insane, Kimi, Hamilton Vettel etc. all were really good rookies.
While there are drivers who just don't care about anything and are insanely fast (Kimi) others like Nico Rosberg have high doubts - but for those it is important for Marko and co. that the young drivers will manage these doubts within a couple of races.
It is harsh but there is no point for RB to keep young guys that can race a car but show no special talent. RB pays a high price for their second team to have exactly that luxury.
How not to not like this guy.
I hope it goes well for him, piloting for Williams isn’t an easy task but he has been providing for the team the past 2 years, and also he is earning respect.
Maybe he’ll get that Merc seat ? Who knows..
Alex's story throughout F1 has been astonishing.
The 2019 rookies is one of the best classes we’ve seen.
Guy has matured up so much... Went through that red bull hell ... Came out diamond now.
loved the video guys .
alex is a great guy and i think and can become big in f1 .
and he is right about needing to preform fast in f1 but some get more time from the bosses .
but thats how the world works i guess ,
Miss Jake from the F1 show, so much better than the current ones.
He needs to get started on Duolingo.
He'll need 100% of his time spent sorting out Ferrari, he can't learn Italian at the same time.
Lmao 😂
Hamiltons problem now
@@JSE4 My comment aged terribly.
Albon should start looking at houses in Oxford.
Comment aged faster than milk 😂
I bet Alex is faster than Lando in the same car. Watch his driving, nothing left in the car.
💯
no lies here
He wasn't much faster than Lando when he was in a faster car than him...
This is so interesting, are these podcast available on spotify
Perfect temperament for a high level WEC drive. I'm sure we'll see him there in the end.
I never paid much mind to him before this.
Now I’m Team Albion!
He seems like a really nice dude!
Such a nice interview. The more I learn about Alex, the more I like him. Wishing him great success in 2024.
Hands down my favourite. F1 driver. Such a genuine guy. Reminds me of Nigel mansels story
I hate when interviewers interrupt at good part of the story. Just wait until he finishes.
Alex is very likeable and a very genuine guy.. but also a great driver hes not had an easy run but hes proved he belongs at this level.. also why liam lawrence is sp unlucky this season too not have a seat after how incredible he did
Alex is such a classy & great guy!
I like Alex. He is a good man.
One just cannot stress enough how amazing this interview was.
This bloke deserves every bit of success that comes his way
Rooting for you, Alex! Go get 'em!
Don't mess it up. Stay with Williams Alex.
Ask the Hulk, Grosjean, ... switching often just kills your career.
Love Alex! Hope he goes to Aston or Merc
anyone know what new balance shoes Alex is wearing?
If you’re still curious, looks like new balance 2002r protection pack rain cloud
Amazing story. Amazing guy.
I have a lot of respect for Albon.
Such a great guy.
Top bloke ❤
Toto would be foolish to not sign Alex. He so deserves a seat at the front end of the grid at a team that's not Redbull.
I hundred percent agree with you but in reality it wouldn't be good for Alex as that seat is earmarked for Kimi Antoneli. Alex needs to be up front and he deserves a long stable contract so maybe in Aston Martin. McLaren drivers have long contracts, Merc has only 1 year contract to offer so maybe Alonso could take that and in doing so Alex could be offered his seat.
Alex to Red Bull next to Max or to Ferrari next to Charles? What would be nicest way to go for him?
or mercedes when lewis retires
Home.
Why on earth would Alex want to go back to Red Bull to partner Max? Everyone keeps pretending like 2019/2020 with Red Bull just never happened.
If nerves didn’t get hold of him Alex Albon may of been a world champion by now he’s certainly good enough he beat Max,George,Charles in go Karts
Max is on another planet. Even other drivers say it. His car control and ability to manipulate it is top tier. Alex is better than George, but he’s not beating Max in any consistent manner unless he has a better car.
The interview questions felt like psychiatric evaluation.
Alex Albon goes around the outside.
Which New Balance shoes model is he wearing??
2002r protection pack
I'd love to Alex get the chance in a decent car that Williams is holding him back
this dude is real
hes a good lad
Make Williams great again
Damian needs to read the room and let the funny bit land before interjecting and spoiling it.
Shock George Russel got every advantage handed to him
Who's the driver who got the boot after 7 races last season?
Nyck de Vries
@@pbsimons1 Right! I already forgot about him lol. Thanks!
Thankfully it’s becoming the norm via laws, in the US, that potential employers can’t ask your current salary. Hope that becomes the norm in Europe.
I think his mothers conviction was a big factor. You'd like to think the fastest driver gets the seat but no team leader wants baggage if he can avoid it.
Hamilton spun him 4 times out of a podium. He was arguably the closest team-mate prime Max had.
Formula E is the second best behind F1 only with Salary, not racing.
he was only 23... he should've been at the club
Alex deserves a top drive but he should stay away from Redbull they could of ruined him.
Landos dad paid McLaren 35m for them to take him ... Kinda helps
Really 35M? Wow..
Do you have any link to the source of this info?
Mick used the Schumacher name to get into F1 because of German sponsors.
George > Alex > Lando, in the same machinery 🤭
so what's the salary? definitely clickbate
The more I
Alex Albon also demonstrates in this talk that he is a little bit too nice to be really successful. He is an excellent driver and human being. But F1 is ruthless and i dont think he has what it takes to be on top. I wish him all the best and success. Prove me wrong.
You are wrong
i hope i am. he is a nice guy.@@reallifeman8462
rubbish
Last race all on the line albon failed. Yep
Formula E isn't at all the best career choice after f1, that a terrible series, bad driving, nobody heard about it except fake motor sport enthusiast, I really don't understand how people follow this series, it must be bots or something, even if it was thermic engine, everything is wrong, track, car, driver behavior, rules, the way they charge the car 🤦♂
"They race me so hard" - Alex Albon
Utterly pathetic.
Hamilton nearly destroyed his career, took him out for his first podium, and then what would have been his first win.
Like Kimi getting destroyed by Alonso in 2014
I love Albon but i just can't listen to him...all the akward pauzes while talking is quite annoying...
Thinking before you speak is a very under valued trait.
I'd rather hear something purposeful rather than a load of waffle or stumble over words.
Listen to Obama. Same thing
@themasqueradingcow91 you're right. Elon Musk speaks this way as well
@@gabbyanaman2596 You are right! Seems like a very similar speech pattern
It's calk thinking before speaking, which is the truth.
Is he supposed to rap when he talks?
