It's bizarre how half the grid looks like 20 year old college kids nowadays. As a kid I always imagined that under the helmet all drivers looked like Nigel Mansell and Keke Rosberg
Alex keeping it legit showing us his real actual essentials
Alex on GQ!!💙 I love that this didnt feel like it was entirely sponsored. Also his little smiles everytime he mentions his gf is so adorable!! Please get George Russell and Charles Leclerc to do this as well!

"Crocs are cool now, right?" "But they're actually quite embarrassing."
Never thought alex would be on this he deserves this genuine guy and I've always supported him, top driver as well ❤️
I love Alex a lot. He seems like such a sweet guy. He is also, in my opinion, one of if not the most underrated driver on the grid right now. I really hope his 2023 season will be as good as he deserves.

@@ntf9438 he got into a car(which everyone knows) is designed specifically to Max. The problem is max like a car that is almost un drivable by 90% of drivers. Chuck max into a new team next to an established driver he would really struggle I.m.o. he has driven for red bull for his entire career. He is a prime example of "its the car not the driver" max only won once the car was the best(we shall ignore 21 because it was 50/50 and a dodgy decision won it) he was outclassed that year and won on a fluke... the dominant 22 makes me think it genuinely was fixed... passing of the torch moment

I was looking for you in the comments
Probably the fastest I've clicked on one of these videos. And it paid off. Didn't expect Alex to be on here; comes across as really authentic and 'un'sponsored.
Love learning more about Albon! He’s one of my favorite drivers on the grid!
I really like Alex. Very down to earth, very likable. I'm so glad he was given another chance in F1. He deserves to be there.
Alex is such a lovely guy, class act, always love watching him talk about whatever.
he's so real & relatable. an ipad kid, a mark wiens enthusiast, a simp for lily. a great dude frfr
I love how he is constantly mentioning Lily. 😊
I was already pre-rolling my eyes because a lot of these previous ones have been "here are the products I'm sponsored to sell you and here is why they are so great, wink wink." I mean honestly, who is that fooling when every essential you have has a big name brand on it, but this was just refreshing to just hear Alex talk about stuff I genuinely believe he uses. This is what's interesting about people, not what they NEED to sell us.
Alex is honestly a cinnamon roll, you can tell he’s down to earth and got education, not very common to see that on the grid. Love him ❤

What a ridiculous comment. ‘Alex is honestly a cinnamon roll’ - stupid comment
I root for him !! He seems so down to earth and grateful for the opportunities he has had. And the relationship he has with his girlfriend seems to be genuine and pure! Refreshing to see at the paddock!
Alex is honestly such a chill and humble guy, these essentials were actually relatable to for once
Alex is such a nice guy, always has a smile and is so humble and kind. He is not a jerk, he just is a genuine person and is just so nice and respectful.
Love the humility with the essentials. You can tell he appreciates the little things in life. Right on Albon!
omg it’s miles better than lando’s ad campaign video..loved it
Best episode so far. Every item felt real and not like a sponsor ship.
The Albon dye phase is crazy.
Lily thank you so much for educating Alex to apply SPF👍🏻
love Alex! seems like such a great guy x also him & lily are the cutest
Love this so happy to see Alex on here! Here’s hoping 2023 is a great season for him!
alex talking abt lilly almost everytime he mentions one of the essentials is rs goals 🥹🫶🏻
So happy to see Alex! He´s one of the nicest drivers on the grid right now. :)
Alex is going to have a wonderful career in years down the road as a commentator for open wheel racing. He's a joy to listen to.
Thank you for this GQ! We love Alex! ❤️ Can you invite Charles Leclerc next please?
I love Alex, he is so humble and nice! Hope he can get better results this season, I would love to see that!
I love this! Alex is so genuine and adorable. And his explanations are so sweet and compelling
Almost 9 minutes of Alex talking about Lily😂❤
Yes Albono!! Thank you for keeping it real and genuine. Wishing Williams the best of luck for the season and I hope ya'll make a huge improvement.
Accent, how he talk, and his voice are really soothing.
love how he always brings up lily, also, you can't don't love the guy
I love when they bring their actual essentials
I love Alex! He's such a nice and humble guy, i hope he will do better this year :) Good Luck Alex! 🇹🇭
I love alex I missed him so much the other season I am so glad he is back
'this is an oculus rift' proceeds to show an oculus quest
Alex is going to be one of those grandpa's that all the kids at school love to hear about
Was nit expecting this but congrats Alex! #1 fan and it's been because you are so down to earth, helping your community and just a humble guy!
Guy seems super down to earth and very chill, hadn't heard of him before, but I'm a fan now, wish him all the best!
Alex is the sweetest guy in the grid
I love how he really can’t stop talking about lily 🥺
I have really enjoyed tens things Alex Albon F1 drivers can't live without. That was a great video. Thank you
The amount of times Alex said “my gf” could make this into a very dangerous video to do a drinking game with😅 But tbh I’d be bragging if I was dating Lily too
He seems so genuine. And loves peppers! Nice one, GQ.
Albono! You'll get a better seat soon man, your skills are too amazing for the Williams
Man albono has the most comfortable voice, I can listen to him talking for 7 days straight
Wow finally another F1 driver appear!! Want to see more and more driver here, especially Leclerc😎
Alex is such а sincere person, love seeing him on GQ!
The most grounded and down to earth driver on the grid imo.
Probably the sweetest driver on the grid
such a down to earth guy. triggered me a little when he called an oculus quest 2 an oculus rift, but still, seems like a great guy just to be around
Love Alex Albon!!! Love all these “10 things…” spots featuring F1 drivers! Thanks, GQ!!
Alex, great driver & chill guy.
"normal film camera' Pulls out a Contax T2. Love that into film Alex!
Great to see Alex on GQ! Best of luck this season!
"While my scars were repairing" ... yep, he's a formula 1 driver alright.
Lily out here looking after Alex’s skin 😂 honestly love her
"A lot of this is confidential" bro hasn't realised yet he's driving for williams 💀💀💀
Love how he keeps talking about his girlfriend, it’s so sweet. Lily and Alex are THE F1 COUPLE
I can’t believe Alex Albon made me want to buy Crocs 😂
I'm really happy to see Alex here. He is so cute and lovely person. Love him!🥰♥️
I don’t think Alex has to worry abt wearing crocs in front of Charles bc his fashion sense isn’t the best either 😅
Alex!!! Glad to see him here! Thank you for making this happen!
Wearing Crocs and bring Chilli everywhere is very south east asian. I know you were born and raised in London but you are indeed representing Thailand. ❤
Lol, he's so relatable, even though he is in his late 20s, he feels like someone my age (20). He'd be a nice friend imo
gotta love Alex 🫶🏻 so nice to have him around the paddock
Lol I now need a Mark Wiens Alex Albon collab😂
Bring Charles Leclerc next!!!!
Alex!!! Love this dude, what a good video
Love Albon, doesn’t seem like your typical polished corporate f1 driver. Good on ya m8
he is such a lovely guy
Drink everytime Alex uses the words "my girlfriend" challenge
So happy to see Alex here. Loved his essentials.
Love him so much. Hope he will be on a more competitive car in the future.
Super GT in a GQ video, what a legend
Legend!! Looking forward to his first race win hopefully this year Alex 🤞🤞
such a nice guy
Love Alex! Always so kind and cool :)
Bruh, Alex just called the Oculus Quest 2 a Rift...
Love Alex feels like he's just like me fr.. all the way to enjoying film photography and my girlfriend always reminding me to use skincare
Alex Albon being just Alex
Such a great guy. And clearly so in love. Good luck next season Alex!
Sem comparação com Lando, ou Ricciardo... Amo o Alex, cara simples e genial.
this is so much more authentic than landos
Alex Albon and Mark Wiens. Yes. Chilis and humbleness.
Albono!!! knew I was going to love this video even before watching it
You know it's not sponsored when he's calling his VR headset by the wrong name xD
Love the fact that you guys included the GOAT in this video at the end.
Alex!!! He is such a nice fun guy, great driver!!!
