Alexander Albon admits he was "a bit lucky" to finish 9th

Alexander Albon has admitted he was "a bit lucky" to finish 9th during the Bahrain Grand Prix. Albon has been performing relatively well for his first season in Formula 1 and will hope that he can continue to finish in the points this season. Albon was not expecting to do so well but was glad to pick up valuable points.

"My start was very bad, I was a little bit safe into turns one and two,” he said to F1i.com.

"I felt like I was always fighting with someone at some point, there was always something to do!" he added.

Albon managed to stay ahead of his teammate Daniil Kvyat and that is something that he will try and do in China in a few weeks.
