Alex Albon has opened up about the time he spent alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull and the key elements that make the reigning triple world champion’s driving style so unique.

Albon confirms that Verstappen likes his front-ends pointy and that Red Bull pushes cars development toward his driving style, in the detriment of the other driver.

I am getting tired of people claiming the car is built around verstappen and twisting albon's words to 'prove' it. Albon clearly says in the article that the car is what it is and that the only reason the car ends up being developed more towards verstappen is because he is faster and hence his inputs are given more weight.

Hell even this year started off with the car suiting Perez but even then Perez could hardly match verstappen and once the car was updated slightly. Why would you give the guy who is at best equally matched and at worst nearly a second behind the other guy equal weightage when it comes to upgrades.
