Alex Albon has taken to social media to give an update on his health and confirm that he is eyeing a return to the car straight away at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Williams driver did not have the weekend that he was hoping for at Monza last time out, with him coming down with appendicitis on Saturday morning and therefore needing the required surgery to remove his appendix.
Indeed, Nyck de Vries was asked to stand in for the Thai/British driver for the rest of the Italian Grand Prix weekend and the Dutchman did a fine job, boosting his own chances of potentially partnering Albon within the team in 2023.
On Saturday lunchtime, then, Albon had the surgery and it was a complete success, but there was then post-operative complications relating to the anaesthetic that meant the former Red Bull man suffered respiratory failure.
