Albon was born in London, educated in Ipswich, and has lived in England for most of his life, but he adopted his mother, Kankamol’s Thai nationality. His father, Nigel Albon, is a former British Touring Car driver.
“I have both British & Thai passports but I chose to drive under the Thai flag,” Albon added. “I do feel Thai, but it doesn’t mean I don’t feel British either.
“In the end it is a racing licence. You have to choose one & I chose Thai. There are no regrets, and I don’t think I will change that.”
