Alex Albon debunks Max Verstappen Red Bull F1 car theory: “People get very confused…”

Verstappen famously destroyed Albon during their time together as teammates - he did the same with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Pierre Gasly and to a lesser extent, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez.
Many pundits have often 🍷pointed towards Verstappen’s driving style and how he likes to have a car with considerable amounts of oversteer or a strong fro💞nt-end.
As a result, some have criticised Red Bull for designing their ca🃏rs around Verstappen meaning the driver who is in the second car has little hope of challenging.&🧸nbsp;
In an interview with Express Sport, Albon exp꧑lained why this is simply a misconception.
“I think people g☂et veryౠ confused with designing a car around a driver and a driver who’s very very quick and wants a car a certain way,” Albon said.
“Of course, you’re going to listen to the driver who’s getting the performance in and getting a good job because the potential is more. I’m not going to call m🥂yself guilty for it but people misinterpret my words where they think w🤪hat I’m trying to say is the car is built around him.
“No, it’s the fact that he can deal with it and he drives it in a certain way. You’ve got to try and find what he has because at the end of the day he’s making it work. Hon⛄estly, that’s the difference.”
Since leaving Red Bull, Albon has flourished with Williams, acting as their lead driver following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s switch to Mercedes.
Even though he missed out on points in Australia, Albon is confident Williams can get their season back o🦹n track with top 10 finishes at low downforce tracks.

"Low deg, low energy tracks suit us because we are a little bit skinnier on the downforce side, we slide around more🦋," Albon added.
"We create a bit more surface temper🐻ature than other cars.
"That's why you know actually in Bahrain we were okay because it was a night race, Jeddah, we wer🔥e ok on race pace - it was night race. [In Australia, it] is just naturally cold.
"We were allowed💎 to slide and the circuit is a bit forgiving. There are long straights after the corners which cool the tyres back down - it suits♎ us."
