Recovery going to plan. Target remains Singapore GP The Williams driver had to undergo an emergency appendectomy during the Italian Grand Prix weekend because of which he missed the race. He was replaced by Nyck de Vries at Monza who did a stellar job by scoring points in his first-ever race weekend. Following the appendectomy, Alex Albon suffered respiratory failure and had to spend some time in the hospital. Williams released a statement as well updating the health of the driver. The statement said, "Further to Alex Albon’s diagnosis of appendicitis on the morning of Saturday 10 September, he was admitted to San Gerardo hospital for treatment. He underwent a successful laparoscopic surgery on Saturday lunchtime. Following surgery, Alex suffered with unexpected post-operative anaesthetic complications which led to respiratory failure, a known but uncommon complication. He was re-intubated and transferred to intensive care for support." The report also mentioned that Albon was making excellent progress through all of this, "He made excellent progress overnight and was able to be removed from mechanical ventilation yesterday morning. He has now been transferred to a general ward and is expected to return home tomorrow. There were no other complications. Alex’s full focus is on recovery and preparation ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix later this month."
