Alex Albon attacks Ferrari while explaining the layout of Interlagos
As reported by RedBull.com, the team’s reserve driver explained the entire layout in a very entertaining way. He explained the details of the route with some funny pointers.
“Turn one is the best opportunity to overtake. You can go outside or inside. It’s also a great place to overtake on reboots. Turn two and three are flat-out corners, turn three is an easy flat, but it’s still a great corner, ”said the Thai driver.

After the long straight from turn three you come to turn four, which according to Alex is a great place to overtake, unless: “There are two Ferraris!”
It’s a great route to drive. But I think there aren’t enough high-speed corners to give ten out of ten. It’s a historic track with a lot of character and good for racing. There is also a great atmosphere! ”Said the Red Bull driver at the time.

It will be time to judge. We’ll do that together, “said Vettel after the crash.
