Alexander Albon has downplayed speculation about tensions with his teammate, Carlos Sainz, following their collision during the Dutch Grand Prix. The two drivers took advantage of a shared breakfast to clarify the situation on the Monday after the race.
Sainz took full responsibility for the incident at Zandvoort, where a crash caused Albon to retire from the competition. The Spanish driver, who was struggling with worn tires, lost control in a corner and collided with Albon, who sustained damage to his car.
Despite the seriousness of the incident, Albon asserts that there are no hard feelings between them. In an appearance on the podcast The Fast And The Curious, he commented: ‘We had breakfast together on Monday. Carlos offered to pay, and I agreed.’ Albon pointed out that media often amplifies tensions, comparing his situation to the famous rivalry between Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.
The Williams driver also joked about the possibility of a ‘revenge’ in the form of a humorous collision, despite admitting that his team would likely not approve. Albon shared details of their breakfast, highlighting Sainz’s confidence in his culinary skills with pancakes, adding a humorous tone to the situation.
