Know Why Is Alex Albon Racing in F1 2022 With Red Hair for Williams

Why Is Alex Albon of Williams Racing with Red Hair in the 2022 Formula One Season? When Did He Start a New Trend, And Why Does He Keep It Going

Alex Albon was forced to sit out the entire 2021 season after losing his Red Bull race seat at the end of 2020. Albon did not race in F1 2021, save from a few test runs in the RB16B.

Following Kimi Raikkonen’s retirement, Valtteri Bottas’ move to Alfa Romeo, and George Russell’s move to Mercedes, a seat at Williams became available for Albon, who replaced his good buddy Russell.

Albon has outperformed teammate Nicholas Latifi thus far this season, scoring points twice for Williams with P10 finishes in Australia and Miami. Is it true that Alex Albon is also sporting red hair as he works to rebuild Williams alongside Latifi?

Alex Albon Red Hair Theory

Albon spent some time visiting an orphanage in Thailand before the Australian Grand Prix in April. He let the kids colour his dark hair red while he was there.

He kept the look when he arrived in Melbourne, and put in an excellent racing drive to take P10. Albon ran 57 circuits on hard tyres before pitting for the last tour of the race. He used this tactic to give Williams their first point of the season.

Albon Trend Continues

Alex Albon donned a red hairstyle during F1’s inaugural visit to Miami, after reverting to his normal hairstyle for Imola. As a good luck charm, the London-born Thai decided to try again.

Albon drove the Williams to another points finish in P10 at the Miami International Autodrome, proving that it worked.

Albon and his red hair, on the other hand, were fortunate, as a late incident between Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher propelled him to the front of the grid.
