Alex Albon treated George Russell to dinner
Alex Albon treated George Russell to dinner as an apology for deliberately holding him back on the track during the Monaco race.
After the finish, George, who was so angry with Alex that he deliberately cut off the chicane at the exit of the tunnel and received a penalty for driving through the pit lane, said that the Williams driver owed him dinner. On Thursday in Barcelona, Elbon said that he had indeed treated Russell, and he had chosen the most expensive dish from the menu.
Alex Albon: "George ordered the most expensive dish on the menu. I'm not kidding, he really did! It was pasta with lobster, but then he refused dessert, which compensated for the cost of the main course. The evening turned out to be fun. I had to pay for dinner, and I did it."
When asked if they discussed the race over dinner, Alex said, "No. To be honest, we hardly talk about racing outside of racing. So if there was a conversation, it was very short."
