F1 drivers aren’t just about racing. Especially the young drivers who have come to F1 in the past decade are often seen trying different activities. One of those activities is playing golf. While Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz can be considered amateur golfers, there are a few who still need practice. Alex Albon is one of those drivers.

Post the Abu Dhabi GP, Alex Albon was chatting with F1 Nation podcast hosts Tom Clarkson and Natalie Pinkham. After discussing the 2022 season with Williams, Albon and his girlfriend Lily Muni were asked about how their favorite pastime golf is going on. To this, Lily sarcastically replied with Alex’s progress with the game.

She said, “Ah. It’s been improving.”

On this, Albon said, “She is sounding so nice right now. She talks so much sh*t on my golf.”

Lily tried to cut Alex and mentioned how difficult it is to teach him golf. She said, “He is unteachable. Unteachable. He is [a] complete chaos on the [golf] course. Imagine pure chaos. That’s Alex. You know chaos and golf don’t go hand in hand.” 

The Thai driver tried to defend himself by saying, “The Executive Golf is quite formal, you know there are rules to do. And there I am running around, hitting balls, losing balls. When people are putting, I am running around. When people are in their backswing, I am laughing, I am dancing.”

“I think I embarrass Lily when I am on the [golf] course.”

Alex Albon and Williams – An unlikely possibility that clicked well

Alex Albon has had a turbulent career in F1 so far. His 18-month stint with Red Bull in 2019 and 2020 did not work out and saw him on the sidelines in 2021. However, he received an olive branch to revive his F1 career with Williams in 2022. And Albon grabbed the opportunity and delivered.

Even with a struggling car, Williams and Albon stretched out the potential of the FW44 to the fullest. A marathon hard-tire stint in Australia saw Albon clinching the first point for Williams in 2022.
