The 2023 season will begin in less than a month, and it appears that spectators will have something exciting to look forward to. Thanks to a schedule of 23 events put in place by F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali last year, the 2023 season will be the longest ever. Additionally, the F1 vehicles will be seen competing in Las Vegas, which joins the Austin and Miami circuits as the third American circuit added to Formula 1. And based on how much fun our F1 drivers have at gatherings, “sin city” seems like the ideal place for them to go. However, Alex Albon has already started dreaming about the ultimate American experience at the new F1 venue.

One of the veteran Formula 1 teams, Williams, didn’t have a particularly memorable 2022 season. With only 8 points earned, the team came in last, and the British racing team made several changes to the team structure in order to enhance the team’s performance in the next season. After Nicholas Latifi was replaced by American driver Logan Sargeant, the team noticed a shift in the hierarchy when Jost Capito resigned and was replaced by James Vowles of Mercedes, who is all set to join the team on 20th February.

Additionally, both drivers were spotted sitting at the interview during the Williams car launch. And here Alex Albon spoke about the ultimate American experience. He said, “I feel like Miami was kind of like a taster in terms of the that party you know , atmosphere within the F1 paddock and I feel like Vegas is just something that.” The other Williams driver quickly interjected and said, “You don’t want to go to Vegas, Just for the track.” While the host marked it for Albon that the racing will take place on Saturday so he will be having Sundays to enjoy, to that the Thai British driver responded, But I’m sure knowing, knowing, we’ve got Sim on Sunday or something. “
