Ex-Ferrari engineer Rob Smedley has praised 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon for his strong start to the 2025 F1 season 💦after there were “lots of question marks” about his form𝐆.

After being dropped by Red Bull at the end of 2020, Albon spent the following year on the sidelines before returning to F1 with Williams full-time.

Albon has slowly rebജuilt his reputation at the Grove-based outfit.

However, question marks remained regarding his ultimate l༺evel of performan𓄧ce, given the identity of his previous teammates.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant proved to be weak competition.

Immediately, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto proved to be a st༺erner test, leading to concerns about how good Albon is.

Albon has batted away any questions over his level in F1, out-performing new teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

Albon has score𝔍d 30 points in the opening six rounds, putting him an impressive eighth in the F1 drivers’ cཧhampionship.

Smedley, who was Felipe Massa’s race eng𒀰ineer from 2006 to 2013, believes Albon has now silenced any critics.

“I also think it’s down to the fact that they’ve now got two ver꧒y good drivers. Alex Albon, there were lots of question marks from the sidelines about ‘how good was Alex?’,” Smedley said on the ꦉF1 Nation Podcast.

“Because since he got demoted fr🍎om the Red Bull team, how good were the drivers that he was put up against and how good were the drivers that he was put up against in William♎s, especially at the start of his journey.

“That’s now been answered with Carlos, right? Alex is a very good drivꦇer, Alex has got his feet under the table. We know how good Carlos is, for me, Carlos is one of the best all-round drivers on the grid, he’s definitely a guy, in a top car, could win a world champi🅘onship.”
