F1 | Red Bull, Albon confident: "I could have won the race"

There is so much regret in Alexander Albon's words. The Thai tasted the joy of the podium again, but once again an accident with Lewis Hamilton robbed him of this joy. Then, with a few laps to go his Red Bull left him stranded, for what is a rather sensational double zero for the Austrian team after the proclamations of this very long winter.

“It happened a little while ago, so I have to be careful what I say, but there's nothing to add other than frustration – Albon admitted. I think we could have easily won the race: the strategy was perfect and the guys did a great job in the pit stops. Of course, we were lucky with the Safety Car, but the car was fine. The hard tire wasn't great, and I knew Mercedes would have cold tires at the re-start, so I had already planned to switch them before the SC arrived. I felt like I had already completed the overtaking on Lewis, I was already focused on Bottas and passing him in the same way on the next lap. The contact with Lewis surprised me, he arrived late after the corner was over. I was right on the edge of the track, I knew that if I gave him all the space he needed, the accident would only depend on him. This time I was the one who attacked him, he was defending himself: I don't think he hurts more than Brazil, but if there the blame is to be shared 50/XNUMX between both of us, here it isn't. We are already focused on next weekend, we will need a bit of luck to have the same opportunities as today, but let's see what happens."
