“I don't know if that was the reason why, but I didn't have much grip at the start. And then for most of the race, we were okay. We were actually feeling quite good with the car.”Albon admitted that he was fortunate with the yellow flag period: “I have to say that safety car came out in a perfect time.
“So it was a race of forwards and backwards – one eye forward, one eye back. It became a bit of a dogfight. I wouldn't have wanted that race to last one more lap.”
