Why Albon won't be "throwing around laptops" to gain a 2023 F1 edge
OPINION: At the Williams 2023 Formula 1 season launch, Alex Albon’s easy-going nature was again a point of focus. But does being “too nice” really matter in modern F1? Albon’s own expressions put that in an intriguing new light
“I hope not, they come out of the cost cap!”
Williams’s head of vehicle dynamics, Dave Robson, was relieved to hear Alex Albon has no plans to be “throwing laptops around” as part of his work with the Formula 1 team in 2023.
That is set to be one of the storylines to follow in the coming campaign – can Albon galvanise a squad that lost its previous upward momentum with a tricky start to the new ground-effects era? At the same time, there’s an expectation he must be even better alone behind the wheel too.
