Love the guy, but he'll always be Alex 'They Race Me So Hard' Albon. He's been untested for a while now, which has helped him shine in a car that isn't competitive. The last season he faced any real pressure was during his off year in DTM with Lawson, where he was beaten by 97 points. You can see why RedBull were keen to let him go to Williams after that, because Liam was their new reserve driver. The fact is, Albon just doesn't do well under pressure. Driving a car that nobody expects great results from alleviated a lot of the pressure for him, because now he just had to bring it home and MAYBE score a point. Then his teammates at Williams, title deciding drivers in their ability to bring out flags, weren't competitive enough to apply that pressure. So, things looked good. He had no pressure due to an objectively poor car, and no pressure due to poor teammates. Colapinto then showed up and immediately the pressure is back on him. Now he's pushing harder and making mistakes because of it. His radio call in Singapore was just the return of Alex 'They Race Me So Hard' Albon, and I think Williams would be wise to keep Colapinto around next season as the pressure builds with the arrival of Sainz.

so many people in the comments saying Alex has had a couple of bad races and you’re taking it out of context so you can’t judge him as a driver based on that but don’t y’all get that’s how the sport works?!? with the pool of talent available you don’t get do-overs. these are supposed to be the 20 best drivers in the world and should be held to a very high performance standard imo. think about how the team principals and upper management are looking at Alex and Franco’s performances in comparison to each other with their different experience levels and try to understand why Alex’s seat could be in danger. I like Alex as a person off the track but I don’t think he’s quite good enough, if he can make it to 2026 maybe the new reg cars will suit him better but I’ve personally never thought his driving was anything special. I’m hoping that Franco stays as William’s reserve for next year and if Alex ends up being clapped by Carlos then put Franco in and let him keep the seat through 2026. it’s all just a waiting game atp to see what happens next performance wise for Alex and contract wise for Franco.

That's not to take anything away from their performance, which was great, but those guys in that car have only finished in the top 10 in 8 out of the previous 20 races, never higher than 9th.

Perez is still facts over emotion. Fact is all those constructor championship points lost will eventually be a net gain for RedBull in the coming new regulations. The money he brings in probably negates the prize decrease but most importantly the wind tunnel time increase would be invaluable.

[@woodeez8049]

I'm pretty sure when Alex was at RB he had a whole lot of other family stuff going on so not only under the blow torch of F1 pressure but dealing with very negative and painful external pressure that was beyond his control. Some people need to get out of their glasshouses before throwing stones!

[@casi-oak]

I think its a bit of a new situation for him , and I think the pressure might be getting to him. But lets not forget, he was only outqualified once in normal Qualifying, not even due to his fault, and once in sprint qualifying. Compared to Hülkenbergs record compared to Bearman and Tsunodas compared to Lawson thats very good. None the less it's certainly his worst part of the season.

[@TheCrazyyGamer]

Crazy how some drivers get a pass from this type of criticism while for as long as I have followed F1 Albon is always getting thrown into the fire. Where’s all the calls for Perez at? Don’t get me started on washed Ricciardo just because he was liked he deserved basically 3 chances? Gtfo

[@colored_lonely]

Nothing is happening to Alex Albon, he was never that good. He was just against two of the worst F1 drivers in the last 10 years.

[@jaystev]

His 2019 partnership with Verstappen remains the most successful post-Ricciardo partnership in terms of the % of Driver 1's points scored by Driver 2.

[@Daniel-tx2vt]

Ngl at this point going the RBR is career suicide especially if you’re a rookie f1 driver😭. Unless you’re backed by liberty media.

[@DJAvren]

I am forming a new theory that the reason Perez is still at RB is because he doesn't get a salary. Cheko is just so star struck to be in a red bull he is paying Helmut to stay at the team

[@MegaTimtheman]

We all assumed albon was doing a great job. In reality it was because sergeant was very poor

[@Anonymousones1]

Sergio knows something about Marko or Christin they can’t get rid of him

[@Quattro_Joe]

Albon is and always has been far below average. Next season with Sainz in an equal car hes going to be destroyed.

[@davidmartin4812]

Double overtake in Canada.

[@abdullahosmani13]

Whats going on with Albon? His car sucks!!!

[@ExodiaNecross2]

Albon being disappointing as usual doesn't like being raced very hard

[@bruchett4799]

I have to say I really didn’t know or care who he was until only recently with Colapinto. He is a really great guy I just dont know how good he really is as a driver.

[@arthurteo8111]

He is mentally fragile and cracks under competitive pressure. A technically very good driver but competition from the team mate unravels him and the signs are showing with the arrival of Colapinto.

[@davidmorales2767]

This man is like, can I retire please 0:39

[@dill1453]

I’m honestly sick of people calling him washed, he’s not even done that badly as of recent, but has just had horrible luck. Should he be doing a bit better, maybe. I’m an Alex fan through and through but everyone has put this on themselves by rating him stupidly highly, and then complain when he doesn’t do as well as you thought he did. It’s just another story everyone is desperately trying to find because they don’t like him anymore after he made a comment about the Franco move in Singapore (which is dumb, considering he said the move was fair afterwards). The f1 community always tries to find a new driver to hate

[@lauramartinolich8100]

He also said Bearman is an idiot and Yuki and other idiot , and he. Rectified about Franco because it was terrible what he did Franco was in his 2 nd race and apart from been a rookie he did not have as much chances as other drivers to participate in f3 and f2 races … Franco will bring himself up and also be supported by his countries through important company from suthamerica .

[@dill1453]

@ I’m sorry if English isn’t your primary language, but I can’t figure out what you’re trying to say.

[@lauramartinolich8100]

@ yes , you are right spanish is my mother tongue. What I meant was that Alex always blame the other drivers, he made it with Franco in singapure, He made it with Bearman in México ( Ollie and Franco both rookies) and also he made it with Yuki in México, on the radio in all of the cases. And about Franco what I meant was that he is building up , we do not know if he is going to race next year or if he will be at Williams as a reserve driver. But what we know is that he did not have as much possibilities as other drivers to even participate in races and if he did it was not in top teams. That is why he has not only support from his fans but also some few big companies that will back up him. For instance Mercadolibre ( argentinian owner) which is a small equivalent as Amazon but mainly in central and south América . That is why the car has a yellow part now.

[@dill1453]

@@lauramartinolich8100 I’m not sure Alex said anything about the tsunoda incident plus it wasn’t anyone’s fault. I imagine it’s easy due to the pressure for drivers to get frustrated in the cockpit (but outside he acknowledged his mistakes unlike Lance stroll)

[@lauramartinolich8100]

@ he did he called him Idiot, and yes of Course it is not the bad Word what matters, it is the fact that he always blame others. And yes you are right it was a race incident no one fault .

[@MrDou]

he just need to dye his hair again.

[@MAH18999]

Funny AF, you have my sub!

[@blauekits7782]

The music had me triple checking this was FP1Will... W choice💯

[@brianluisi7616]

Racing and racing under pressure are very different things (your teammate beating you) even if the team isn’t putting pressure on you still leaves you with pressure

[@littlerhino2006]

Culture either makes or ruins people, someone like Verstappen had a relentless childhood so the pressure and stakes at F1 suit him well. Fan favorites are easily liked by teams. People with no recognition are easily swept under the rug. It's a shame to see people with talent without adequate support against someone like Stroll. It's always just a money game though

[@DawidSikora]

I want to know what was the creative decisionmaking behind putting smooth jazz to this video

[@LeonardoAldana43]

I think this year we are seeing and finding out a lot of things. Pérez and Bottas are just not there mentally anymore, Albon and Ricciardo are not what people thought, and those who still deserve a seat (K-Mag, Colapinto, and rookies like Hadjar) won't have it next year

[@LorenzoCorrado19]

Magnussen didn't deserve the seat over Ocon or Bearman honestly...

[@rafatejera329]

magnussen sometimes is disgusting, dirty driver, this season he faked a car failure to end qualy earlier and dont allowing other drivers to complete their laps,(forced yellow flag) that was the end for me, since then i cant stand him

[@NY1075]

K-mag really? come on

[@Wafflecombo54]

Osama bin Mag does not deserve a seat 😂

[@anshumandas2200]

bottas?....really?...what are you talking about...what could you expect from him with such a tractor of a car huh?

[@TheFatSandwhich]

This video is an absolute desperate grab for any form of content, sorry. A run of a few average races doesn’t correlate to a ‘what the hell is happening to’ video. That work work for Perez, though.

[@rhodrambles3943]

I think Albon is out racing the Williams. The rest of the grid are improving (Ignoring Aston martin) which creates a tight field and a tough time getting points. I think both he and Colapinto are doing better than they should be with the excel designed battery advertisement they have. But when they reach the limit of the car, they loose it and make James glad he isn't in America and there isn't a gun laying around somewhere near bye to turn on himself...oh wait.
