P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Alex Albon has provided some interesting insight into why Max Verstappen is able to dominate his F1 teammates.
Albon spent 18 months alongside Verstappen at Red Bull, struggling to keep up with his impressive teammate. Pierre Gasly and Sergio Perez also struggled to perform alongside Verstappen. There is a theory that Red Bull designs their cars specifically for Verstappen, but Albon dismisses this idea. He explains that Verstappen has a unique driving style that is difficult to adapt to, with a sharp and direct front-end preference. Albon compares this driving style to increasing the sensitivity of a computer mouse to the maximum, causing the car to feel unpredictable and making him tense. When a driver is not in a flow state and lacks confidence in the car’s reaction, it becomes difficult to perform consistently.
