Alex Albon previously discussed how the popular TV series Drive To Survive would create an exciting episode about Daniel Ricciardo’s return to Formula 1 in 2023. Albon, via IMAGO, expressed his thoughts on the upcoming season and how the show’s producers would present the testing session for the 2024 season in an exciting way. The highly anticipated first race of the 2024 season is just a few days away and fans are eagerly awaiting it. The $252 billion media streaming company recently released the sixth season of the acclaimed documentary series for fans to enjoy during the last Formula 1 race-free weekend. The company once again demonstrated how the producers of Drive To Survive would capture the essence of the testing session through a tweet.
According to Albon, Drive To Survive would start by showing a montage of the new cars, helmets, and driver suits. The camera would then shift its focus to the incident where a loose manhole cover interrupted the second day of testing. The show would then feature various laps and culminate with the opening race. Albon confidently stated these details about the representation of the testing session in the 2024 season by the show.
During the first testing session in Bahrain, the Williams driver made bold predictions about the performance of the current world champion. The RB20 demonstrated impressive speed, leading to doubts among rival teams about their chances of winning the championship. Albon humorously suggested that Max Verstappen would have a 25-second advantage at the end of the race. Verstappen would then make a pit stop and go for the fastest lap of the race. In the end, Albon stated that Verstappen would break the lap record for the Bahrain GP.
In addition to discussing the upcoming season, Albon’s move to Ferrari has opened up opportunities for him to join Mercedes in the future. The 27-year-old driver is considered a potential candidate to replace the seven-time world champion in Brackley. Furthermore, Albon has also been considered the top choice for Red Bull Racing in 2026. With these prospects, Albon’s future in Formula 1 looks promising as he may soon be driving for one of the top teams in the sport.
