Williams Racing driver Alex Albon has more than 100 Grand Prix starts to his name.
Throughout Alex Albon’s Formula 1 career, he’s driven for three teams and raced at 31 different circuits.
In that time, he’s secured podium finishes for Red Bull at Sakhir and Mugello, while there are five tracks where he’s never scored a point.
Las Vegas and Interlagos are the only two circuits still on the F1 calendar where Albon can break that duck for Williams this season.
Portimao is aiming to return to F1, while Le Castellet and the Nurburgring are unlikely to be back on the schedule any time soon.

Each circuit on the F1 calendar has a degree of danger, given the speeds at which the drivers race.
However, Albon believes there’s one track in particular where changes are needed to avoid a ‘big crash’, something that Mick Schumacher and Lando Norris have discovered in the past at this venue.

The Williams driver was asked on the P1 with Matt and Tommy Podcast to rank the various tracks on the Formula 1 calendar.
Albon previously suggested Zandvoort was too narrow for F1, but when asked to choose between the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Mexico City Grand Prix, he said: “Yes, Saudi.
“That is a proper track. I am scared on the day that one driver is going to have a big crash there.
“But we’re doing 300 kilometres per hour, and it’s a blind spot to 100 metres in a lot of the corners. Just make the straights, straight.
“[On our slow laps] we’re like kind of dancing across where we think a car would be on their push laps. So it gets a bit sketchy.”

Pierre Gasly called for ‘respect’ at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix before first lap crash
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix made its Formula 1 debut in 2021, when Lewis Hamilton won the race.
Max Verstappen and Hamilton clashed after that race, with the Dutchman penalised for some dangerous driving.
Red Bull won the next three races at the track, with Verstappen (2022, 2024) and Sergio Perez (2023) sharing the victories.
Oscar Piastri ended Red Bull’s grasp on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit this season, getting the better of Verstappen going into the first corner.
However, there was a lap one safety car in 2025, when Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda collided.

Before the race, Gasly said to the press, via Motorsport: “As a racing driver, I must say you’re more focused on the track layout itself, and I’m probably less so focused on the safety aspect of it.
“Yeah, it is very high speed, the walls are very close, from the track, you have kind of poor visibility.
“Over the years, there have been some changes which did improve [it]. But then, at the end of the day, it’s also F1, and there will always be a safety concern in some ways.
“So, it’s not something that’s really in the back of my head, and I’m just going out there knowing that I got a strong car, I’m in control of what I do, and I’m feeling safe when I’m in my car.
“That’s all I can control, and it does feel like we’re not in a bad place here, but for sure, there are other tracks which bring a bit more safety to it.”
Gasly’s thoughts appear to echo what Albon was saying about how there are other, safer tracks on the calendar.
F1 are set to race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit until 2027, before the proposed Qiddiya circuit takes its place.
