Albon 'had Lewis flashbacks' while passing Ricciardo

Alex Albon said he had flashbacks of his collisions with Lewis Hamilton while making the decisive move on Daniel Ricciardo which earned him a maiden F1 podium finish.

Albon finished third at the Tuscan Grand Prix, passing Ricciardo around the outside of Turn 1 several laps after the second race restart. The Thai driver has had two near-misses since joining Red Bull, colliding with Lewis Hamilton at last year's Brazilian Grand Prix and this year's Austrian Grand Prix when it looked like a podium or a win was on the cards.

It was third time lucky for Albon, although he admitted feeling nervous as he sized Ricciardo up for the move.
