      Less pressure, less press. I think it suits Albon more. I wish him all the best and hope he'll be in F1 for a long time. He's one very underrated imo.

    Thanks Alex and GQ! I'm always astounded at the F1 drivers, the things they have to attend during a racing "weekend"(4 days) alone, the media, the fans, practices, team/engineer discussions, qualy, more team/engineerchats, couple more pressconferences, the whole buildup and then finally, that moment, when they are on the grid, doing what they do when the lights go out. Kimi's short sentences, make actual sence, sometimes. The whole shebang is just incredible. Hats off to you out there.

    I attended the saturday DTM race at the Nürburgring that weekend and he DNFed. I watched quali on the sunday morning when he got pole and almost bought a ticket to drive back all the way there (about 200km) because I felt like he was gonna get it. I ended up having to babysit my sister's dog but otherwise I would have 1000% been to that race.
