Hey, how you doing it's Jake here. I am so happy to be bringing you a preview of our latest episode of high performance with the Formula One driver Alex Albon, who is having a brilliant season for Williams.

0:16.0

We actually recorded with Alex twice, would you believe, which is a first for high performance.

0:20.6

So the first time we sat down and spoke it was actually just 48 hours after that

exhaustingly hot race in Qatar and Alex came in the room and told us in great detail

actually just how difficult that race was. But then when we finished the conversation, he and his team got in touch a couple of days later and said that there was more to discuss, that there was areas that we hadn't gone to and Alex is really passionate about them.
