Albon gave up his seat during the Italian Grand Prix to De Vries, who made a very good impression. The 26-year-old Thai driver experienced an appendicitis crisis on Saturday morning, just before the third free practice session and qualifying.<\/p>\n
The runner underwent surgery right away. The statement informs us that the operation went well, but that Albon suffered from post-operative anesthesia complications. A very rare occurrence in this type of operation.<\/p>\n
Following the diagnosis of appendicitis for Alex Albon on the morning of Saturday, September 10th, he was admitted to San Gerardo Hospital for treatment. He underwent a successful laparoscopy on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
After the surgical intervention, Alex suffered from unexpected post-operative anesthesia complications that led to respiratory failure, a known but uncommon complication. He was reintubated and transferred to the intensive care unit for support.<\/p>\n
He made excellent progress overnight and was able to be removed from mechanical ventilation yesterday morning. He has now been transferred to a general ward and is expected to go home tomorrow. There have been no other complications.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Alex would like to thank the nursing, anesthesia and intensive care teams of the San Gerardo Hospital – ASST Monza, the medical team of the FIA, his performance coach Patrick Harding, the Williams Racing team, and Dr. Luke Bennett from HINTSA Performance.<\/p>\n
