Alex Albon on what it was really like being teammates with Max Verstappen

We're joined once again by Williams driver Alex Albon, who sat down for a chat about what it's really been like to drive in F1 this season. From planning race strategies at wildly different circuits, to his relationship with teammate Carlos Sainz and his advice to rookies taking their first pressured steps in the sport, it's a fascinating conversation with one of the most open drivers on the grid!


Plus, ever wondered if the F1 drivers disagree with our driver ratings episodes after a race? Well, Alex is here to reveal all!
