SINGAPORE - He hails from the Land of Smiles, so perhaps it is no surprise Formula One driver Alexander Albon seems to always sport one on his face.
"It's a home race to me because it's obviously close to Thailand, so it's the best one for my family and everyone to come over and watch," Albon told The Straits Times on the sidelines of Esso's Trackday Throwdown event at the KF1 Karting Circuit at Turf Club on Wednesday . He had initially signed a deal in October last year to race in the all-electric Formula E series after accepting his Formula One dream was dead and gone.
Drivers lose about four per cent of their weight during the course of a race at the gruelling Marina Bay Street Circuit, which for Albon means about 3kg off his 74kg, 1.86m frame. To prepare for the heat and humidity, he does long runs in four layers of clothes and studies the circuit through a simulator.
