Alex Albon backs a Thai Grand Prix

Alex Albon has shown his support for a Thai Grand Prix this week, stating that it would mean the world to him for F1 to head to his home country.

Following Stefano Domenicali’s trip to Bangkok to discuss a Thai addition to the F1 calendar, Alex told media at the Chinese Grand Prix that he’d love a home race.

“I’m super excited to hear the news about a possible Thai Grand Prix,” he said. “It would mean the world to me for that to happen, and it would be another home race not just for me, but for Williams too. I’m very excited, it deserves to be on the race calendar.”

He explained how Thailand is an amazing country and that he’d love nothing more than to be the one to show his fellow drivers around.

“Speaking to the other drivers in Formula 1, I know a lot of them haven’t been to Thailand before. I would be really excited to show them the culture of Thailand, the people, the food. I want to be their tour guide for the weekends!

"Maybe we can go to some temples as well. I think it’s fantastic. I’d love to see Thai people more involved in the motorsport world and I’d like to try to help this happen in any way that I can.”
