Albono's sense of humor is only getting better, he looks way more relaxed at Williams.

[indrayanipoyraiturcar]

He was actually so articulate and insightful

[mistersir]

I am genuinely convinced he is one of the most humble and genius drivers on the grid.

[chilidrummer]

One my favorite drivers in F1. Always polite and friendly, I admire his personality. And a talented driver as well of course

[YooDudeSup]

Alex is one of the drivers who you think is shy and will barely speak during interviews. But he’s actually very eloquent and witty in answering all the questions. His humor really shined here!

[aaalswhoo]

albono finally getting the recognition he deserves 🤌🏽

[MitchGP]

He’s gained a lot of confidence in the last couple years.. keep it up kid

[krisnanakwame]

I think Albon is definitely the most relatable and chilled out guy on the grid, he just seems like he would get on with anyone

[natzoxox]

My favourite driver on the grid. Not only is he kind, polite, funny, he’s also very very precise and articulates himself very well. I was lucky enough to meet him in Melbourne this year and he’s just as genuine in person as he comes across on screen. Team Albono always!

[thetruebatman]

He’s a super sweet kid. Hope he’s around for a long time.

[AlexAnn]

He is so underrated. I love listening to him. He is so down to Earth and seems like a genuine nice guy.

[isabonaldo]

really hope to see him in bigger teams in the future 🙏

[lifebytama]

I always love seeing Alex answering or explaining things because he's so perceptive, insightful, and well-spoken. The way he explain things going on in Williams is also very respectful and well-articulated. He will always be the driver that I will support no matter what team he's in. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you, Albon! Cheers

[rolandmdill]

What a great guy, hope to see him many more years in F1 and score many points and podiums!

[krystellegibson]

I met Albono in Melbourne this year, he's such a friendly and laid-back guy and engaged heaps with fans. Hope he and the Williams team continue with this upwards trajectory!

[raeqiu]

he’s much more relaxed and confident than ever before

[clementine...]

This is one of the few times the questions really have depth, normally they pick some really mid ones to answer, this feels personal and his answers are very insightful and sincere

[Frankesteinnl]

Thanks Alex and GQ! I'm always astounded at the F1 drivers, the things they have to attend during a racing "weekend"(4 days) alone, the media, the fans, practices, team/engineer discussions, qualy, more team/engineerchats, couple more pressconferences, the whole buildup and then finally, that moment, when they are on the grid, doing what they do when the lights go out. Kimi's short sentences, make actual sence, sometimes. The whole shebang is just incredible. Hats off to you out there.

[pshshshvf]

As a Thai, it's so nice to see that we got him as a representation in formula 1. A nice, fun, and talented driver!! also glad to see that Williams has been treating him well. Hopefully we'll get to see him in a more competitive car soon!

[quattrocam]

You just cannot hate this guy, hopefully we get to watch his career for many more years to come!
