Albers is an established professional who raced in Formula 1 for three seasons from 2005 to 2007, driving for Spyker. His career on record spans from 1998 to 2012 and includes 57 starts across four series; his peak rating of 5,368 places him at the established professional level, the calibre of driver who can sustain a career in international racing.[1]

His Formula 1 campaign yielded 46 starts, the bulk of his indexed racing. Before that he competed in International Formula 3000 with nine starts in 2000, and made a single appearance in the Formula 3 Macau championship in 1998. His final racing came in 2012 when he started one World Endurance Championship round in an LMP2 prototype for Lotus, finishing 29th in the championship standings for that season.[2]

Albers raced Formula 1 alongside Fernando Alonso, a two-time world champion and FIA Platinum-graded driver, and finished ahead of him once; he also beat Nico Rosberg, the 2016 world champion, in a single head-to-head. Against Mark Webber, a WEC LMP1 champion with 217 Formula 1 starts, Albers was closely matched across their meetings. The standard at Spyker, his primary team across 19 starts, was defined by Alonso; the team took no wins across its entire history and fielded 37 drivers in total.
