As reported by Chequered Flag, Albon has said, “The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is a new track for me and not an easy one to get up to speed with, so whilst I’m looking forward to that challenge, I know it’s going to be a tough one.”

“I think it’ll be a track that is a bit better suited to the characteristics of the FW44; it’s smoother with more medium and high-speed corners, so I’m hoping we go well there. The more running we do, the more we’ll understand this car and how we can work to maximize its performance, so I’m mostly just looking forward to getting back out on track,” added Alex.

It is nice to see him back racing in the sport after missing the 2021 season. It looks like he 26-year-old, has matured, and looks more relaxed while driving for his new team. He has a point to prove in this season as he may look to reclaim his lost Red Bull seat.
