Albon scratches his head after "scrappy" Sakhir Grand Prix

Alexander Albon did not have a great qualifying on Saturday and therefore had to start the race from 12th place. He did manage to climb through the field at the start, but was able to take advantage of the problems up front. Sergio Perez, with whom he was fighting at the beginning of the race, won the race.

Albon is not quite sure how the race went

“It was a very strange and scrappy race and I’m not really sure how it all unfolded but climbing from 12th to sixth isn’t too bad but we hoped for more today. We expected to be slow on the straights and we only just about to managed to stay with the other cars when we had DRS but it was so hard to overtake and I was having to dive bomb into Turn One to get the moves made," Albon said in Red Bull's press release. 

"It was very hard to race with the configuration of downforce we had, and we were quick in parts of the track like sector two where you just can’t overtake. Now it’s full focus on Abu Dhabi in a few days’ time.”
