Going to be tough - Williams Alex Albon unsure about his availability at Singapore GP

By Charanjot Singh Modified 18 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Alex Albon might not be available to race at Singapore. Alex Albon has said that it would be difficult for him to return to action at the Singapore GP next month.

He expressed gratitude to everyone who reached out to him and wished him well. Albon added that he's getting better, but the Singapore GP could come a bit too soon for him. Moreover, Singapore is notorious for being hard on drivers; the race is physically exhausting, and the conditions are humid. In the clip he posted on social media, Albon said he has been trying to get ready for Singapore, but that could be 'tough'. He said: "Hey everyone, Alex here. Just thought I’d give a little bit of an update on how I am. I feel pretty good. I feel okay. Obviously on Saturday, I had a slight issue, and the doctors did an amazing job. Very grateful that they got me in good health and out of the hospital by Tuesday. So I’ve been in Monaco since then, been starting to walk around and the goal is to be ready for Singapore, which is going to be tough." Alex Albon@alex_albonThank you everyone for all the support!

Hopefully see you in Singapore and peace out.” Albon (4) is 19th in the driver standings, having garnered only four points all season.
