Recently, the F1 Williams team officially announced that it has renewed its contract with Alexander Alben and will continue to represent the team in the 2023 season, with a new contract of many years.
Speaking of Alben, who completed the renewal, Williams team manager Capito said: "Alexander is a fantastic driver and an important member of the Williams team, so we are delighted to confirm that we will be working with him on a long-term basis. Alexander's perfect blend of driving skills and a deep understanding of racing will help the team achieve greater success in the future. He is a fierce contender who has proven to be a popular and loyal team member and we are delighted that he will provide a solid foundation for us to continue to develop in the new F1 racing era." ”
Judging by his performance in the first half of 2022, Alben's overall performance was better than his teammates.
On July 3, there was a major car accident at the start of the F1 British Grand Prix, with Albon, Zhou Guanyu and Russell withdrawing, and the cars of AuCom and Kakuda Yuyi were damaged to varying degrees. After the incident, Alben, who rushed out of the track, asked rescuers to check on Zhou Guanyu who overturned the car first, and Russell also came to Zhou Guanyu's car for help at the first time. Fortunately, the drivers were not seriously injured in this serious accident.
Born on 23 March 1996 in London, Alpen's father was a British amateur driver and his mother was a Thai, so Albon had dual citizenship, but on the field, he played as Thai.
It is worth mentioning that Alben is also a full-fledged Chinese son-in-law, and his girlfriend is He Muni, a girl born in Chengdu, China. He Muni is a professional golfer who is currently ranked 305th in the world and now lives in Los Angeles.
