Williams Racing driver Alex Albon has praised Max Verstappen in a hilarious manner ahead of the Las Vegas GP. Albon and Verstappen were teammates at Red Bull for two seasons in Formula 1.

Max Verstappen is one of the most skilled drivers on the grid. His pace coupled with his racing acumen has made him a three-time world champion at only 27 years of age. He lead the championship this season and is hoping to add a fourth title to his cabinet.

Alex Albon has since called Verstappen the most difficult driver to chase after in Formula 1. The Dutchman is known for his ruthless and aggressive approach to racing, which is resented by many.

[The most annoying person to try to chase down?] Like a good defender? Max Verstappen. Definitely the more aggressive defender out there!

Alex Albon said

Albon, who has not had a fruitful career so far at the pinnacle of motorsport, is eagerly chasing his first career win. He will be excited with the new regulations coming in 2026, which might propel Williams Racing into a frontrunner.

Alex Albon claims that Williams Racing has overdone their efforts in search of betterment

Williams Racing currently stands at ninth in the constructors’ championship with only 19 points so far this season. The Grove-based team, which once was a proven title contender, now races amongst the back markers in Formula 1.

Alex Albon feels that his team has overcomplicated their issues by going too far in terms of advancements. However, the 28-year-old also claimed that Williams is confident of eradicating its issues here on.

There are some areas we’ve overdone it and we kind of need to come back a little bit, but that’s a good thing. I think we’re not quite there yet, it’s going to take us a little bit more time to really define where we want the car to be. What’s positive is that we’ve actually been able to achieve it though. It’s not like we’ve had an idea and we’ve failed and we’re still scratching our heads. We know where we need to go quicker.

Having not found stable ground over the past decade or so, Williams has made some big decisions over the past year. All that now remains to be seen is whether or not the bets work in their favor over the coming seasons.
