No matter who you are or what stage in your life you are at, everyone has a guilty pleasure and F1 drivers are no exception. Most would assume a guilty pleasure of a Formula 1 driver would be something expensive or extravagant. However, let Alex Albon show you even filthy rich Formula 1 drivers are just regular people like us.

Just as Lando Norris recently did, Albon also sat down with GQ Sports. The Thai-British driver discussed the top ten things he can’t live without. In conversation with GQ Sports, Albon revealed a common $50 item on the list he can’t live without. However, the 26-year-old driver is embarrassed to sport this item in front of his fellow drivers. Why? Let’s hear it from the Williams man himself.

“My crocs. I mean crocs are cool now, right? I’ve got basically my little jibbitz and they’re my travel shoes,” revealed Albon.

However, the Williams driver soon disclosed his embarrassment associated with his footwear and what he does with it when he has company. He added, “But they’re actually quite embarrassing. So sometimes when I travel with the other drivers, I’ll end up not wearing them. They’ll stay in the bag.”
