Williams driver Alex Albon's crash during the Australian Grand Prix was triggered by a spike in tyre temperature, according to data analysis. Albon was running in sixth place before sliding wide and crashing into the barriers, causing the first red flag of the day. Williams' head of vehicle performance, Dave Robson, said a small snap of oversteer through Turn 5 pushed the tyre temperatures up, leading to Albon losing control of the car at the next corner.
