Albers working on his future

Life has been quiet for Christijan Albers recently, so it is time for an update on the man who is The Netherlands’ last talent to date to have competed in Formula 1. After a successful year in the DTM series in 2008 it is very difficult to find the right seat in any racing category this year due to the economic crisis, although Albers remains a fighter and is still raring to go.

Lewis Hamilton will be making his first return to the Nürburgring next weekend since the European Grand Prix of ..

It feels like the last Grand Prix was ages ago. The Bahrain Grand Prix was held four weeks ago and thus it all seems like a long break for Formula 1. But I haven’t noticed it even a bit to be honest!

In the past few weeks I had a lot of sponsor activities for companies such as Leaseplan and Trust. The team and I enjoyed a fabulous event in The Netherlands when I got the chance to race an F-16 Fighterjet. Unfortunately I lost the battle but most important was that it was a great day and a unique happening.

We also travelled to Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona, to prepare ourselves for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix. I had one day in the car but unfortunately there were some technical problems with the car so running was limited. I believe we made some good progress once again last week during that test. We now must wait and see how things will go at this weekend’s Grand Prix.

I’m looking forward to race there. It’s an interesting track for sure with some fast and slow corners. It will also be the first time we race at Circuit de Catalunya with the new chicane there. I wonder if it will help to get an extra overtaking possibility. Let’s wait and see the madness in Spain with the many Spanish fans!
