[@Milkydrummer]

Alex was literally negotiating his own contracts and managing himself while his mum was in jail AND was raising his sister and family while getting himself into F1… the guy is an inspiration

[@ShirahShah]

omg i just knew about this. he's a tough lad 😭

[@ahjess768]

I found that out during DTS, inspirational for sure. Alex mom's case caused enough distractions that he performed poorly in F2 and got kicked out. And thanks to his Thai cultural he was able to fine sponsors to keep his career going before rejoining F2 and getting noticed by RB junior team. He's talented for sure and I'm glad he was able to find a way to stay in F2 and made it to F1. Happy he's doing well at Williams and left the awful Red Bull team who doesn't know how to develop young drivers with Horner constantly being negative and putting pressure on the young drivers.

[@TinCc85]

This is an interesting in-depth “getting to know Alex Albon” interview. Alex’s one of my favourite drivers. Such a level headed, calm person & talented driver. I wish one day he’ll be able to drive a winning car & be on the top step.

[@DNFDespair]

If you havent already, definitely watch his interview on the High Performance podcast. Its such a great insight into how he thinks although he doesnt let his cheekiness come through too much

[@TinCc85]

@@DNFDespair I’ve actually watched it. I’ve been following him for a while. Such a fine young man. I hope he gets his first F1 win soon.

[@audreyperrin320]

He is great I hope he will win a race one day he is not like lando moning when he doesn't win

[@kritipatwardhan374]

​@@audreyperrin320 tf? y'all pick a side, don't like him when he praises himself and don't like him when he's beating himself up? you guys are so jobless 😂😂

[@emmarosenberger1588]

A COMA??? and he’s so chill about it wth

[@ahjess768]

With blood in lungs and still insisted on training for the Singapore race and barely passed the physical for F1 practice before the race? Crazy dedication.

[@myschevious11]

"And if he's not aware, I make sure that he's aware." I busted out laughing at this one. :) 🤣

[@thepinktreeclub]

the best double overtake from 2024 as of now is definetely his

[@oskymoron]

Is it not Russell’s start at Barcelona?

[@forestforce2951]

​@@oskymoron albon overtake in canada GP

[@hugh50935]

Up there with Hakkinen as best of all time, I think

[@hannah-wd9qn]

@@oskymoron don’t think that counts as an overtake since it’s just the start but i would also throw in piastri in silverstone

[@fatimasolitary]

Alex is such a great driver and person! and i wouldn't mind listening to him ramble for hours about travel, food and animals.

[@rederik99]

The "High Performance" podcast he was on not too long ago was great. Long, but great. Not too much animals and food though

[@gilbej91]

Alex is so eloquently spoken and smiley. I wish him so much luck because he really deserves it. 😊😊

[@onlyw23]

"I'm not good at firing people" Alex 😂😂😂

[@haninnuraini2007]

My mom said "who is that, he smiled a lot" 😂❤❤❤

[@knk45]

He’s so well spoken, I could listen to him speaking all day

[@ahxiao8013]

Alex sounds like he’s doing asmr lmao

[@gracewang0428]

I really like Alex Albon as a person and a F1 driver!! He has sense of humor, his humble, he know what his doing and he always talk less and do more... I really hope he can get what he wants for his career, and wish you best of luck Alex for the British Grand Prix!! BTW, the coma part of his recovery sounds a little bit scary for me omg, anyway, wish all the best to him for everything😭💙💙

[@sylwiaw537]

to be a fly on that plane with Alex, Lando, Daniel & Carlos... 🥹

[@A2dy]

Interesting. Before Williams Team Torque podcast thing, Alex was the most mysterious driver to me. Turns out he's a goofball

[@errolglenn4548]

He's right up there with Charles about being a goofball haha

[@parishmita4168]

Alex is so soft spoken i really like him a lot

[@craftykid4775]

I always enjoy Alex’s interviews, he is very engaging and genuine. He always gives little everyday insights into his life in f1 which other drivers just don’t think to share and I find fascinating…. He is very funny without trying too hard 😊

[@helenballinger5213]

Love you Alex! You're so quiet, humble and its great to see you settled and enjoying life at Williams even if Williams are at the back! Alex and Williams are a match made in heaven ❤

[@Gabrielle_2022]

Alex has always been my favorite since I started watching f1. He’s had his ups and downs in the sport and it’s been amazing to watch his growth throughout the past few years. I’m so glad to see his self-confidence began to flourish. Seeing interviews like this always make me smile! Never underestimate an underdog! 😼😼😼

[@ellesevet5180]

Love Alex interviews! He always comes across as so down-to-earth and has interesting answers! Hope to see him with blue hair one day 💪💙

[@captainianr]

F1’s nicest guy

[@Ninanotlina]

Albon is definitely not stupid. Anyone on the F1 grid deserves some credit. Love Albon’s opinions. Love this interview. Thanks 🤩

[@jellybaebi]

Alex giving the Leclerc kid a shout out was unexpected 😂

[@nurul579]

underrated driver. i hope alex can score more points this year. rooting for williams 🙌

[@tlalicetears649]

What a nice chap.

[@usedtoexistonce]

alex would make a great pundit after his f1 career

[@brcsephina]

TURBO MENTIONED!!!! i’ve just been extremely validated

[@mannlydann1978]

Such a interesting interview. I love Alex. Such a nice guy who just talks so well! I could listen to him talk about any subject. And so low key funny.

[@apeacebone6499]

These are some really creative questions and Alex gives great in-depth answers. I wish we got more interviews and content like this for all the drivers.

[@angelamouland8012]

Alex is such a lovely guy. Could listen to him talk all day. A really interesting interview.

[@bluej_4189]

Why does Albon sound kinda like "Let me add a little bit of Sssssspicccee in there"

[@its_naaaancy]

Alex is such a good guy, he's so soft spoken and is such a goofball, I need him to do more sit downs like this❤

[@knk45]

Hoping for a better rest of the season for him and the team really want to see him higher up in the order

[@ly2888]

I just admire how calm he is, especially when he's talking. One of my favorite drivers 💙

[@alyssacampbell4274]
