Inside F1 drivers' dinner Lewis Hamilton paid for as Alex Albon debunks £115k bill rumour

Alex Albon dismissed the rumour that the bill from the Formula 1 drivers' dinner together in Abu Dhabi last week came to a six-figure sum, describing it as "a load of rubbish".

Ahead of the race weekend, the drivers met at a restaurant in the UAE capital city to pay tribute to Sebastian Vettel. The four-time world champion was about to take part in the final race weekend of his F1 career, before hanging up his overalls to spend more time with his family.
