As reported, “unexpected anesthetic complications” occurred in the 26-year-old after an operation necessary for acute appendicitis, which led to respiratory arrest. The Thai then had to be looked after in the intensive care unit. The artificial respiration was only removed on Sunday.
Albon, who missed the Monza Grand Prix due to appendectomy, was able to return home yesterday. It was not announced yesterday whether he will be at the start of the next race on October 2nd in Singapore. The night GP there is considered to be very physically demanding due to the high humidity, temperatures around 30 degrees and the bumpy track.
Strong substitute
Last weekend Albon represented substitute driver Nyck de Vries. The two-time karting world champion finished in an excellent ninth place on his debut. No other Williams driver has achieved a better result this season – Albon also finished ninth in Miami.
