Alex Albon says he will not change༺ his approach when racing wheel-to-wheel with Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton in the future, following their collision during the Austrian Grand Prix.

Hamilton was penalised for the second time in three races for a clash with the Red Bull driver when Albon attempted a bold around-the-outside pass on the reign🍰ing world champion for second place in the closi🦩ng stages of last weekend’s F1 season-opener in Austria.

The pair also came together late on during last year’s Brazilian Grand Prix and on both occasions Hamilton took Albon out of contention for a podium and wa𓃲s subsequently punished.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s second consecutive race at the Red Buജll Ring - the Styrian Grand Prix - Albon revealed he has no plans to change his approach to racing Hamilton.

Asked if he will c𒁃hange his approach, Albon replied: “No, not at all.

“It is just bad circumstances that we have c♓ome together twice.”

Hamilton insisted there is “no bad blood” between himself and Albon. Albon said he has not discussed the clash with Hamil🎐ton in person or via text since the incident occurred.

“We di🐼dn't talk afterward🐟s, there wasn't really anything to say,” he said.

“It is what it ﷺis, but I am sure Lew꧟is did not intend to make contact.”

Hamilton was slapped with a five-second time penalty for causing the collision and also had two penalty points added to his superlicence, bringing his total for the curre𓆏nt 12-month period up to seven, more than halfway towards picking up anꦐ automatic one-race ban.
