Alex Albon would fare quite differently if there was a re-match between him and Max Verstappen, believes his team boss James Vowles.
According to Williams team principal James Vowles, pairing Alex Albon with Max Verstappen in a Formula 1 team today would bring out a “completely different animal” in him.
Albon’s time at Red Bull didn’t leave a lasting impression, but since joining Williams in 2022, he has become a reliable midfielder and helped the team secure fifth place in the championship this year.
Vowles commends Albon for his consistent performance, describing him as immensely quick and mentally strong, always delivering what is required of him.
Despite Verstappen’s success, Vowles believes Albon’s resilience and consistency would make him a formidable competitor if they were on the same team today.
Albon’s ability to handle adversity and consistently perform at a high level is what sets him apart and makes him a strong contender in Formula 1.
