Career First 🏅
Alex claims his first-ever fastest lap in Formula 1 – his 1:12.400 on Lap 59 was the quickest of anyone this afternoon...
09 Nov 2025
0.270s 🤏
There were 19 seconds between Alex and the points when he emerged from his final stop, and he finished fractionally outside them at the flag. Solid effort, Albono!
On to the final three rounds – next up: Las Vegas...

São Paulo GP 🏁
09 Nov 2025
ALEX to PIT:
Ah, nice try.
PIT to ALEX:
That's tight, so tight.
ALEX to PIT:
He ran me out there. I don't know if that's allowed, I made contact to his car and had to leave the track.
PIT to ALEX:
Yeah we saw that. That was a valiant effort at the end. It was a bit fluid in terms of what we were doing at times, but well done for sticking in there and being really close at the end.
JAMES VOWLES to ALEX:
Alex, well fought, we'll have a review of everything. I don't think we got that call quite right today. Well done on that fight back and the good news is the car's still quick.
ALEX to PIT:
Yeah, some things to learn from.
09 Nov 2025
CHEQUERED FLAG 🏁
Ahhh so close, it's P11. Alex attempted a move around the outside in the infield and was alongside, but GAS ran him wide and made contact.
Solid effort, Albono...

Move made on COL at turn 4, with a purple first sector to match – ALO next up...

LAP 56/71 🅿️
Box box. Alex fits some fresh medium tyres to take him to the flag, he rejoins in P15, 18 secs from the top 10 with 15 laps to go...
09 Nov 2025
PIT to ALEX
Feedback on tyres?
ALEX to PIT:
I mean we can try, but I feel like I've been hung out here like a dog. I guess I have no choice but to try?
PIT to ALEX:
Hadjar is 0.5s a lap faster behind.
ALEX to PIT:
I've said it from the beginning, no chance.
PIT to ALEX:
OK, box box.
09 Nov 2025
LAP 52/71
We remain P9 with a 2.5s gap ahead and behind. Alex will likely make one more stop, going onto the medium tyre and push to the flag...

HUL makes the move at turn 1, BEA makes the move the lap later.

Having made the move on HUL, ANT – on much fresher tyres – passes Alex at turn 1...
Alex - P6
09 Nov 2025

At this stage, Plan A will be less performant. Hulkenberg 0.7s back, Antonelli 1.4s back...
09 Nov 2025
LAP 27/71
We're P5 with HUL in DRS range behind. He's been told he's on Plan C and needs to make this tyre last...

No waiting for Alex, who is the first car out on track in the second segment of Quali.

Next: Qualifying 👉
It's Quali next for Alex in a little under three hours.
We'll be back then to bring you everything from the Sao Paulo session that'll form the grid for the Grand Prix.
08 Nov 2025
A frustrating ending 😖
Thankfully BOR is okay after that heavy impact.
Alex dropped back from P10 to P17, but it looks like he only had BOR's front wing under the floor rather than any impact damage from the incident.
He should be all okay for Quali later today.
08 Nov 2025
Sao Paulo Sprint complete
08 Nov 2025

Soft tyres. Damp track.

It's all single file as we pass the halfway point.
08 Nov 2025

08 Nov 2025
Ready to race 💪
Alex is going to start on fresh Softs – the only driver on the grid to do so.
Everyone around him is on used Mediums.
08 Nov 2025
Damp Track 💧
It's not wet. It's not dry. It's a little bit of both.
We'll likely see dry tyres for everyone for the 24-lap run to the flag, but it'll be a risky opening few laps...
08 Nov 2025
Sprint Saturday 🏃
A busy day of competitive running for Albono today with both Sprint and Qualifying on the agenda.
Changeable weather is also on the cards, with the rain hitting earlier today.
