Alex: “We're doing a great job as a team”

It was Alex Albon’s turn to speak to the press on Thursday in Spa, with our No23 appearing alongside Yuki Tsunoda (AlphaTauri), Lance Stroll (Aston Martin), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Lando Norris (McLaren).

Ahead of this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, Albono answered questions from the media on his fine form, our chances at Spa and his general assessment of the season so far.

Read on to find out what our Thai racer had to say.

I think we have a good chance. I think car-wise we are in a good place. I feel like the last few races we've been able to get comfortable with the new upgrades.

And, you know, Hungary was a circuit that shouldn't normally suit us and we finished P11. So, feeling positive going into this weekend.

But with the rain, I think there's a little bit of doubt over your performance, it becomes, not random, but a little bit more random. So let's see.

I feel like it goes hand-in-hand. Of course, when the car gets quicker as well and you're fighting for points, people talk about it a little bit more.

I think we're doing a great job as a team. Driving-wise as well. I'm feeling comfortable and confident in the car, which is always important.

And it's just great going to every race weekend being able to fight for points, and being in that area where you feel like you go to every weekend knowing that, it just builds confidence and motivation for everyone in the team.

So yeah, I would say we're enjoying these moments, and hopefully we can score some more points.

I have to say it's been a really good year for us so far. I don't want say too much. But it feels like the way that we started in Bahrain and where we are right now, we've made great progress.

Maybe not as much as the McLarens, but on our side, we are heading in the right direction. I think we are seventh right now, in the Constructors’, tied. If you had told me that at the start of the year, I think if you had told anyone from the team that at the start of the year, we would have bitten your arm off.

So it is going well. Obviously, we just need to stay focused and keep going at it. But I'm sure, as a team, we can take the summer break off, enjoy it and come back refreshed.
