    Alexander Albon Facts

  • Alexander’s love for racing was inspired by his father who was a professional racer himself. Alexander began by racing karts from the age of 8 and proved to be very proficient, winning titles at the 2006 Super 1 Honda National Championship (Cadet Class), the 2009 Super 1 Honda National Championship (KF3 Class), and the 2010 European Championship (KF3 Class).
  • In 2011, he graduated to the KF1 class and stood 2nd in both the WSK Euro Series and the CIK-FIA World Championship.
  • In 2012, he moved from karting to cars and joined the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup series where he had 2 unremarkable seasons, before finishing at 3rd place in 2014 despite not winning any of the 14 races in that season.
  • While a part of the 2018 season of the FIA Formula 2 Championship where he stood 3rd, Alexander had been signed by Nissan e.dams to race in the 2018-2019 season of the Formula E championship. However, he was released once it came to light that he was being considered for a Formula One contract for the 2019 season.
  • Although he holds both the British and Thai passports, he decided to adopt his mother’s Thai nationality for his racing license and use the Thai flag when racing in professional competitions.
