“Is he trying to kill me?” – Alex Albon’s chilling team radio in 2025 F1 Bahrain GP. A chilling team radio from Alex Albon during the Bahrain GP has surfaced.

Alex Albon voiced concern over a dangerous move by another driver in one of the team radios during the Bahrain GP. The conversation between the Thai driver and his race engineer was not broadcast on TV and only emerged in the past few hours.

It was a poor weekend in Sakhir for Williams. Albon finished twelfth, while Carlos Sainz, who had delivered a strong qualifying, was forced to retire after a painful collision with Yuki Tsunoda’s Red Bull.

Struggling, the Thai driver also had to fend off what he considered overly “dangerous” attacks from one of his rivals.

Oliver Bearman started last and finished tenth after a hard-fought race in which he battled to earn a single point. The young Briton from Haas fought with Albon and Kimi Antonelli, ultimately getting the better of both and making it into the points.

The young Bearman’s aggressive driving drew a reaction from the Williams driver, who vented his frustration over the radio.

While preparing for an overtake into Turn 1, car #23 was forced to back off because his opponent was dangerously squeezing him on the inside, risking contact. “The way Oliver Bearman defends is too much,” Alex Albon said on the radio to his race engineer, James Urwin.

The Williams driver tried the overtake again after the first set of corners, briefly pulling alongside Oliver Bearman’s #87 Haas on the straight leading to Turn 4. This time, Oliver Bearman forced his rival leftwards, making him put two wheels off the track. “He pushed me off again out of Turn 3. Very dangerous,” the Thai driver complained.

At Turn 4, Albon approached once more, attempting a move down the inside, but Oliver Bearman moved across just as they reached the braking zone. The Haas driver’s defensive move came notably late, prompting Albon to protest.

“I think this guy wants to kill me,” said Alex Albon. “He’s so dangerous! James, you have to do something.” Urwin replied: “We’ve already addressed it.”

In a later clip, Albon—now behind and overtaken by Antonelli as well—again complains about Bearman’s defensive tactics. “He’s still braking.”
