Albon loses WHEEL to cause late red flag in Las Vegas Grand Prix FP3
Albon loses WHEEL to cause late red flag in Las Vegas Grand Prix FP3
Alexander Albon collided with the barrier in the final five minutes of FP3 at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in an incident that saw the Williams star lose his left rear tyre.
Albon collided hard with the wall at turn five in an impact that caused one of his soft tyres to trundle down the track after coming loose from the car.
Thankfully nobody was hurt as a result of the incident, but a red flag was swiftly brought out that eventually led the session to coming to an early close.

Despite the unfortunate end, FP3 proved to be an incredibly strong showing for Williams.
Albon went sixth fastest, yet in a major surprise, his team-mate, Logan Sargeant, finished in the top three – keeping Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the Red Bull behind him.
A promising FP3 with mega pace shown by both Alex and Logan! 🚀

Williams, who once again looked very fast in a straight line, will be pleased that the damage sustained to Albon's car doesn't seem likely to impact his time in qualifying.
