Williams Formula 1 driver Alex Albon says the team no longer has its traditional top speed advantage to exploit in Sunday's Dutch Grand Prix due to running more downforce.
"We do consider the Williams slightly differently in our strategy [meetings]," he said. "Their cars just have such an advantage in straight-line speed that you don't want to be stuck behind one of them, like I was in Spa."
"It's a lovely compliment, but it's not true this weekend," Albon replied when Motorsport.com asked him about Gasly's strategy comment. "So, we can't do a Canada [where Albon took seventh after being impossible to pass, creating a DRS train]. We have to be quick on pure pace, else we will get overtaken.
