Drivers need longer post-season break: "It's brutal, not enough"

Talking to GPblog in Abu Dhabi, the Williams driver highlighted how little time drivers get to rest nowadays.

Albon said: "It's brutal to be honest with you. I don't think it's enough. I think I have seven days off. We finish next week, we do something later next week, do the Christmas parties and all this kind of thing, and then we go to the factory."

After being able to switch off for a couple of days, according to Albon's plans, he is now already getting in shape for next year.

He continued: "Then I go for seven days, I come back, I do Christmas for my family, and then on the 27 December, I start my training camp.

Looking ahead to next season, the Thai-British driver explained that teams will have to pay attention to how to manage the drivers' workload.
