F1 driver Alex Albon had a serious health scare after being treated for appendicitis this weekend ... suffering respiratory failure and spending the night in the Intensive Care Unit -- but luckily, he is expected to get back to 100% soon.
Williams Racing released the update minutes ago ... saying Albon had a successful laparoscopic surgery on Saturday. But things changed dramatically when the 26-year-old had post-operative anesthetic complications -- including respiratory failure.
The team says Albon had to be re-intubated and transferred to the ICU, where he spent the night.
