'I’ve had a look at the data and it was a bit of a strange one.' 🤔 Alex Albon says that his race-stopping crash in F1's AustralianGP was triggered by a tyre temperature spike ⬇️
in the early stages, and looked comfortably on course for a top ten finish.
As well as putting himself out of the grand prix, Albon’s incident brought out the first of the day’s red flags. “I’ve had a look at the data and it was a bit of a strange one,” he said. “I went through the corner slower than I did on the lap before, it's just I went through the previous corner quicker.
“So then I went into Turn 6 with a hotter rear left tyre, and that was it. I mean, they're the margins we are driving with.”Photo by: Jake Grant /Williams head of vehicle performance Dave Robson said data showed that a small snap of oversteer through Turn 5 was enough to push the tyre temperatures up.
