Alexander Albon had many problems with track limits set by the FIA in Imola. The Red Bull Racing British-Thai driver had a fast time deleted in every session during qualifying thus putting pressure on Max Verstappen's teammate every time.

"You always think about it when you do your lap. In the second run in Q3 you try not to think about it, because you need a time to put down. I am quite happy with the gap towards Max. It is very close to each other there and a tenth faster would mean P4," Albon explained to Sky Sports after qualifying.

Much unknown for tomorrow

He will start from sixth place tomorrow. "We are in a good position to race tomorrow. We are yet to see how the track will be, because nobody really knows yet. It looks good on paper, so we'll see how it will be tomorrow," Albon concludes.
