Motor Racing-Russell Says Albon Has More to Pay After Lobster Dinner

Alex Albon took George Russell to dinner following Williams' tactical play at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix that involved deliberate backing up to enable free pitstops.
This tactic occurred under the new mandatory two-stop regulation, where Albon and Carlos Sainz slowed the pack multiple times to create gaps for pitstops, frustrating Russell who started 14th.
Russell bypassed Albon at the Nouvelle Chicane to gain position but received a drive-through penalty for leaving the track, ultimately finishing 11th and narrowly outside the points.
Albon covered the dinner costs, including Russell ordering the most expensive menu item, with Russell joking that Albon still owes him for the Monaco race events.
The episode highlighted tension from the tactical race and suggested that despite the dinner, Albon has more to make up before Russell considers things settled.
