Alex Albon light-heartedly joked he is facing his "last race" at
Williams after being caught out by boss James Vowles on live radio!
On The Chris Moyles Show on RadioX the morning after the Hungarian
Grand Prix, Albon was asked simply how many gears an F1 car has.
The Thai replied that they have seven, despite an eighth gear being
added in 2014 for the turbo hybrids, before quickly hoping boss
Vowles wasn't listening. Unfortunately for Albon, Vowles was. It
was a difficult weekend for Albon in Hungary, qualifying 20th and
slowest of all on pure pace, and then only climbing to P15 in the
race. But trying to explain himself, Albon joked that the FW47 had
been so slow in Hungary on the main straight that he had no need to
access eighth gear. Moyles then quipped Albon had driven his "last
race" to which he replied: "Yeah, exactly." Check out the exchange
