Alex Albon issues bold prediction for Max Verstappen’s 2024 F1 performance

On the very first day of the pre-testing session in Bahrain, Max Verstappen exceeded other drivers’ skills on the grid by taking the top spot. By witnessing his extreme triumph right before the start of the 2024 season, each driver has already gotten a hint of what is coming up for them in this campaign.

Williams’s main driver, Alex Albon, has also predicted the three-time World Champion’s performance in the opening race of this season, held in Bahrain. By emphasizing Verstappen’s inhumane driving skills, Albon stated, “I’m going to already hypothesise what is going to happen.”

“Max is going to have a 25-second lead; he’s going to go for a pit stop at the end of the race, and he’s going to go for it at the end and break the lap record!”

This also means that if the Dutch driver succeeds in winning the Bahrain Grand Prix, he have a head-start hunting down his fourth title of the Drivers’ Championship.

Alex Albon claims Lewis Hamilton is “bigger than” $29 billion F1

Lewis Hamilton is undoubtedly one of the most successful drivers in the history of Formula 1, with a total of 103 race wins and 104 poles. His tenure in Formula 1 has been over a decade, during which he has also gained valuable driving skills, and knowledge that no other driver currently has except the Spanish driver, Fernando Alonso.

Apart from his motorsports success, the British driver has also had a wide variety of business endorsements and fame in the entertainment industry, which has also increased his overall market value despite being winless in the Formula 1 paddock for the past few years.

Alex Albon, the star driver of Williams, has also acknowledged his unbeatable legacy in the industry by stating that Hamilton is “Just as [big as], if not bigger than, the sport,” which clearly demonstrates that there is still a profound amount of respect for the seven-time World Champion for his relentless success, from every driver.
