Alexander Albon scored his first points of the season on Sunday afternoon. The gap to Mercedes was large, but the Red Bull Racing driver is in any case happy to have finished in the points at the Red Bull Ring.

"I was having Lewis flashbacks," Albon said to Sky Sports.

"It was okay.. it was a good race. This weekend we lacked a bit of pace, so we just need to check where to find the time. I think we know. It's good to get some points after last week."

Formula 1 heads to Hungary next weekend but the Red Bull driver expects a tough weekend when it comes to battling the Mercedes

"I think it will be hard to beat them [MER] now. They are strong in the high-speed long corners which is kind of like Hungary. We just need to work on that. I think Max & I both know the areas where the car is weak and we just need to address it."
