I was shocked when I read that in F1 racing. Albers never struck me as so bad, but there are lots of stories of him b1tching about Doornbos in particular.

There was one in Autosport recently along the lines of "...everyone talks Doornbos up in Holland like he's some great talent, but I always beat him. What does that make me, Superman?"

I like Albers' driving though and I'll leave it at that, although I am glad he'll never be world champ as he think his head would swell so much that his racing career would be over as he would be unable to fit in a car or wear a helmet.

He's a silly boy (Albers)....If he would shut his mouth and puts some more weight at his right foot..maybe I would like him then!

Yes, the first recorded evidence of Kolles doing something with humility. The guys a creep and also very arrogant - reference his exchange with Ron Dennis at Melbourne which was downright disgraceful. He's also darn miserable, banning petty things that kept the mechanics spirits up. You just wonder whether these guys were bullied at school to enforce such things.

Plus his press conferences are indecipherable and he's a dentist.

Overall bad egg!

I comment on the included quote which has Albers as the subject, as well as Albers is the subject of this thread.
Needless to say that I'm referring to Albers...

Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?

Sure, that's not done, it is still funny though! At least he says what he thinks! A relative of mine living in the Netherlands told me that this has been going on for a while now. As K-B said the press don't like CA. The Dutch press have been down talking Albers since the beginning of the season, even giving him grief when he did a good job. When Doornbos walked in the team there was another opportunity to get to Albers by praising Doornbos like he was winning the WDC and not acknowledge that Albers was still beating him.

I don't know enough of the guy to make a judgement. I'm just glad there is another guy in the pitlane that says what he thinks!

There's a big difference between speaking your mind and being downright arrogant and pathetic.

The Dutch press is surely well-placed to know which is the more capable driver, and they clearly feel that Albers is the wrong choice of the 2 to carry the nation's hopes in F1. Doornbos' single-seater racing history is much stronger, especially considering that he only started racing in his late teens. And frankly, when a new driver comes into the team mid-season, you expect to beat him, and by a bigger margin that what Albers ever achieved.

Please keep in mind that the Dutch broadcaster showing the F1 had some kind of deal with Doornbos...

Hi there, Never believe the Dutch Broadcaster, and especially the guy who gives his comments. I can best compare it with James Allen i guess. Big Blablabla and always wrong.

On a dutch forum we had a topic about his mistakes. After 2 seasons there were about 7000(!) replies with mistakes and stupid theory's.

Anyway, Albers and Doornbos are quite equal when it comes to driving talent, Albers has a more technical based approch and Doornbos is way better with the Media. Compare it with the attitudes at Mclaren (stern and serious) and Red Bull ( fun and relaxed)

I think in the end, that Albers approch to F1 is the better one.

Don't forget to mention his sidekick, the pitlane reporter.
I only have to give one example to show his knowledge and intelligence: He thinks F1 engines are 2-stroke.

On-topic...
Doornbos is thinking about how to get and keep sponsors to get him a seat, not just by giving his best in the car, but also outside. Albers is probably only thinking about which of Schumachers records he's going to break first. Strange that the diluted one has a seat for next season.

I don't know if there's any deal between the broadcaster and Doornbos, but I don't think there's need for it. Doornbos doesn't need to make himself look better than Albers since Albers does a great job making himself look like an ***.

Haha.....
There is no deal between Doornbos and the Dutch Broadcaster of the F1.....
The attitude of mr. Albers is just not worth showing it that much...Doornbos is paying attention to his all-round carreer: Driving, keep fans satisfied, good media-attitude.....so he's more attractive for sponsors I think. Albers is just thinking about how "good" he is and getting "better" in the car....but he doesn't shows much improvements....

The Dutch Media isn't talking Albers down....Albers is just showing he's an ***hole of the first class...so it isn't interesting to pay attention to him....If he's that good in driving as in putting his teammate down and lying then Albers is definitely the new World-champ!!

Well it's nice to know the halcyon days of Dutchmen rambling in Verstappen threads are about to be succeeded by Albers and Doornbos.

How does not wanting to wear clogs for Journalists make someone an *******? Seems like a pretty lame attempt at humour anyway. Just sounds like he's not as relaxed around the media as Doornbos.

His comments about Doornbos getting a fat over the media were at least funny.
