The duo could be seen bantering about Albon’s outfit. To which the Williams driver replied, “Please buy the merchandise. It helps front wings, rear wings” trying his best to market his merchandise.

However, suddenly Leclerc, who was loving the outfit, picked up a subtle but not-so-subtle detail about the shirt. The Monegasque exclaimed, “Oh it is a William’s shirt. I cannot wear it then.” 

Nevertheless, Albon was quick to come up with a witty remark. He said, “unless you were to be a Williams driver”.
