Alex Albon believes it was his best Formula 1 race so far as he finished within 21 seconds of race winner Lewis Hamilton. The Aston Martin Red Bull Racing driver started the Mexican Grand Prix well and shot into P3. 

"It was my best race pace-wise and the top guys weren't that far ahead in the end, at the start I aimed to keep it clean but be aggressive, that happened and I came out in third," Albon told Sky Sports. 

"To be honest I don't think it would have been that bad, we could have done the two-stop but we got held up with Carlos in the pit lane and lost 6 seconds."
