The reigning champion Williams has suffered an appendicitis crisis amid the Formula 1 actions at Monza for the Italian Grand Prix. Albon underwent emergency surgery and experienced “unexpected postoperative anaesthesia complications resulting in respiratory failure”. Therefore, he had to be transferred to the intensive care unit, where mechanical ventilation was required.

Albon recovered from the panic and said in an official statement that he was “very well”. Despite setting a goal of returning to Singapore, the Thais admitted that preparing for the 17th race of the 2022 Formula 1 season will not be an easy task.

Meanwhile, De Vries took the lead at Williams on Saturday morning in Italy and surprised him. The Dutchman’s performance drew attention – both in qualifying, heading into the second quarter, and in the race, where he finished ninth -.

After speaking to the private Grove and Alpine team about a vacancy in 2023, the 2019 Formula 2 and 2021 Formula E champion emerged as a tangible possibility for one of the seats available in the AlphaTauri.
