Alex Albon strongly supports former F1 driver Alexander Wurz’s Monaco layout proposals, calling them “sensible” and suggesting additional DRS zones for better overtaking. Wurz, the GPDA chairman, shared specific track changes to enhance racing at Monte Carlo. Despite a failed attempt to liven up the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix with a mandatory two-stop race, drivers and teams criticized the new ruling. Albon endorsed several of Wurz’s proposed alterations, including extending the straight into the Nouvelle Chicane to promote overtaking. He also highlighted the difficulty of braking downhill into the chicane, emphasizing the need for flat, confident braking zones to encourage passing opportunities. Albon even proposed giving drivers more control over DRS activation to further aid in overtaking maneuvers.
