Williams Racing shared a medical update Monday on Formula One driver Alex Albon, who missed the Italian Grand Prix due to appendicitis
Monday on Formula One driver Alex Albon, who missed the Italian Grand Prix due to appendicitis.
The team said he was admitted to San Gerardo hospital and “underwent a successful laparoscopic surgery on Saturday lunchtime.” However, things soon took a turn for the worst. The 26-year-old had “post-operative anaesthetic complications which led to respiratory failure,” which Williams says is “known but uncommon complication.” Overnight, the driver made progress and was off the ventilator by Sunday morning. Albon was transferred to a general ward and is expected to return home Tuesday.
Reserve driver Nyck de Vries stepped into Albon’s place on Saturday and went on to finish ninth in his Formula One race debut.
