I have been watching Alexander Albon extract genuinely remarkable results from that Williams all season and the mainstream F1 media keeps putting him in the 'good for Williams' box rather than the 'world-class driver' box. His lap in qualifying at Suzuka was two tenths quicker than anyone with equivalent machinery could have managed. His racecraft in wheel-to-wheel situations has been impeccable โ zero incidents all season while routinely racing cars that have 30+ more points in the constructors. Williams are genuinely competitive now but even a slower car, Albon was extracting results that were forensically good. He deserves the conversation.

Completely agree on the carnage factor. Jeddah is essentially a street circuit disguised as a permanent track and the walls remind you of that constantly.

The VSC timing point is crucial. Teams that have their pit crew fastest in VSC situations gain an average of 1.8 positions based on data from the last three Jeddah races.
