F1 Driver Alex Albon Shares Update After Being in Intensive Care

For the first time since his appendicitis diagnosis ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, Formula One driver Alex Albon shared an update on social media as he’s recovering at home in Monaco.

The Williams Racing Formula One driver had “post-operative anaesthetic complications which led to respiratory failure” following Saturday’s surgery for appendicitis, which Williams said is a “known but uncommon complication.”

He was then re-intubated and transferred to intensive care. But by Sunday morning, he was off the ventilator, and Albon was discharged on Tuesday.

“I feel pretty good, I feel okay,” he said in a video posted on his social media.
