Alexander Albon has poked fun at the Monaco Grand Prix after a slow, processional race with strategy broadly taken out of the equation.
Alexander Albon expressed frustration over the slow pace of the Monaco Grand Prix, finding it difficult to stay focused with such sluggish lap times. Despite this, he managed to secure Williams’ first points of the season by finishing in ninth place, which matched his qualifying position. The race in Monaco was largely uneventful, as the top 10 positions remained unchanged throughout, a historical first in Formula 1 where cars finished in their starting order. Albon found himself stuck behind Yuki Tsunoda for most of the race, as the Japanese driver opted for a very conservative pace. Albon jokingly compared the pace to driving a Vespa and criticized Tsunoda for not pushing harder earlier in the race. While acknowledging the need to manage tires, Albon felt that the race was unnecessarily slow. Despite the lack of excitement, Albon was content with his performance and thankful for his ninth-place finish.
