Alex Albon has opened up about the time he spent alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull and the key elements that make the reigning triple world champion’s driving style so unique.

Albon confirms that Verstappen likes his front-ends pointy and that Red Bull pushes cars development toward his driving style, in the detriment of the other driver.

Albon needs to become a commentator/pundit once he retires from F1, like take over from Martin

Regardless of how the rest of his career goes I think Alex will be one of those drivers that's back in the paddock working for a team when he's done driving.

He's been given so much praise for his sim work and his debrief skills that (in my unprofessional opinion) Red Bull or someone else will probably want him around to give input on new design paths or something.

Ant does that while also commentating for Sky.

He was Yuki’s mentor during his off season. I bet he will do something similar when he retires.

Vowles too if being TP doesn't work out.

Whenever they call in to James on the pit wall it is such a treat. His frankness and explanations are excellent to hear.

I can't explain why but that guy severely irritates me.

I feel like he would be better in F1TV. They tend to have much more technical commentary.
