Albon: "This is just the beginning"

According to him, this excellent result will lead to others. "This is just the beginning, I'd like to tell you. We'll build from this. I don't think there will be any tracks that suit us as well as this weekend over the rest of the year. We now know that there are several types of tracks on which the car has performed well.", he further analyzed.

"There are still gaps, but we're able to compete with the best teams in some races. We're clearly heading in the right direction.", concluded Albon. His teammate Carlos Sainz also had pace this Sunday. But the Spaniard ultimately finished behind the two Ferraris, in ninth place.
