Albon didn’t want to spend another season on the sidelines with Red Bull, so he joined Williams, filling the vacant seat of George Russell. After entering the English team, Albon came across team principal Jost Capito. Soon the Williams boss found a connection to the Thai driver as Capito’s brother, Volker, also lives in Bangkok.

During their travel to Melbourne for the Australian GP, the Thai driver decided to make a pit stop in his home country and meet Volker Capito. There, Albon even accompanied Capito to visit an orphanage that Volker looks after.

At the orphanage, Albon came across young kids and got inspired by their positivity. Later, Alex got to know that the kids dye their hair on special occasions.
