The Williams<\/a> Formula 1 team has released a behind-the-scenes look at the off-track life of Alex Albon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Filmed on a Tuesday following a race weekend alongside his fianc\u00e9e, professional golfer Lily Muni He, Albon offered a look at the reality of living in Monaco and what he gets up to on a day off.<\/p>\n

With the majority of drivers living in the principality, Albon shared that it is difficult to “escape” his fellow competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’ll grab breakfast this morning and we’re going to play some padel today. I will not be surprised at all if you will see some F1 drivers there,” Albon told the camera as he and Muni sat at a cafe for coffee. “It’s late. It’s 10:45. Most F1 drivers have only just woken up, so they might still be in bed, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n

“You’ll laugh at this. Yesterday, we were driving to breakfast at a different place. It’s a new place that’s opened up in Monaco. As we’re driving to the place, we’re right behind Carlos [Sainz]. We end up going to the same place.<\/p>\n

“So we’re grabbing breakfast with Carlos. Lando [Norris] came separately, and\u00a0Gabi Bortoleto also came, and then George [Russell] was there earlier in the morning. So, five drivers, we do not escape each other.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Now we’re at one end of Monaco. The other side is 3-3.5km. Literally, end to end is 3.5km. So I would say half of us go to the same gym, and where we are now there’s probably about five drivers within a minute’s walk from us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“So it gets cosy in here. With Carlos yesterday, we were talking about house renovations, furniture shopping, dogs.”<\/p>\n

After breakfast,\u00a0Albon joined Formula E drivers Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans to play padel.<\/p>\n

“I do bicycle a little bit, not crazy. I’m not good on a bicycle,” Albon added about his training. “That’s for Carlos. Carlos is the bicycle man. I’m running a lot more.\u00a0Lily also runs with me, and then we just go together. But it’s been so hot in Monaco recently.<\/p>\n

“It’s good for our training because we have Malaysia soon and we have Singapore soon. So, it’s been nice to get used to that.”<\/p>\n

Albon is currently enduring a difficult season at Williams. The Grove outfit arrived with an overweight car at pre-season testing and missed the private test in Barcelona altogether. He currently sits 17th in the drivers’ standings with five points.<\/p>\n
