Alex Albon gives behind-the-scenes look at Monaco life: 'We do not escape each other'

Alex Albon has offered a rare behind-the-scenes look at off-track F1 life—and it turns out Monaco is a very small world. In a Williams video, Albon and his fiancée, professional golfer Lily Muni He, take fans through a Tuesday after a race weekend.

Why it matters:

With most F1 drivers based in Monaco, the principality is both home and workplace. Albon's day shows how rivals become neighbors, training partners and breakfast companions—a dynamic that shapes paddock relationships.

The details:

• Albon and Muni grabbed coffee before admitting that escaping fellow drivers is nearly impossible. "It's late. It's 10:45. Most F1 drivers have only just woken up," he said.
• Breakfast became a reunion: Albon and Carlos Sainz ended up at the same new Monaco restaurant, while Lando Norris and Gabriel Bortoleto also came by, and George Russell had been there earlier. "Five drivers, we do not escape each other," he said.
• Monaco's size makes those run-ins inevitable. "Literally, end to end is 3.5km," Albon said. "Half of us go to the same gym... there's probably about five drivers within a minute's walk from us."
• Conversations covered renovations, furniture and dogs. Later, Albon played padel with Formula E drivers Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans.
• On training, Albon is not the cyclist—"That's for Carlos"—but he runs with Muni, using Monaco heat as preparation for Malaysia and Singapore.

What's next:

Albon is enduring a difficult season at Williams. The team arrived at pre-season testing with an overweight car and missed a private Barcelona test, leaving him 17th with five points. With Malaysia and Singapore up next, he hopes the heat training pays off.
