During the US Grand Prix’s Thursday presser, something worth mentioning was Alex Albon’s hairdo. The Thai-British driver joined the press conference, sporting a blonde tint on his head.
The Williams driver loves coloring his hair. So, the blonde hairdo obviously caught everyone’s attention. Because of the changing colors, the new hairdo needed an explanation as well. So when Albon was asked about it, Hamilton took the opportunity to ask a question himself and showcase his humor.
When asked, “Alex, you’ve gone blonde again?” Albon replied, “First time. Don’t they say blondes have more fun? I don’t know. Is that the thing? That’s what the blondes tell me, anyway.”
The cheeky reply inspired a naughty line of questioning from Hamilton as he asked, “Are you blonde everywhere?” To which an innocent Albon replied, “Blonde everywhere.”
The Williams man was completely innocent toward the Mercedes pilot’s line of questioning. However, when Hamilton asked for confirmation with a simple, “Yeah!?” It hit Albon and he said, “Oh! I was like, yeah Lewis, can’t you see the sides are blonde? Everything’s blonde!”
Lewis Hamilton caught Albon off guard with his question and Twitter can’t take it
Albon took a second more than everyone else before he caught on to Hamilton’s question. However, everyone else on Twitter caught on pretty early and can’t help but express their surprise at Hamilton’s cheekiness.
