He's going to be conservative, crashing would be far more embarrassing for him and the team. You can always blame a poor performance on the car, especially if you are the only one driving it
Two massive crashes in two years (same corner), little practice, and the added pressure of the teammate and chassi situation. The big leap would be to suggest that this is not going to play on his mind and how he approaches the weekend. He's human and he has every incentive this weekend to not make the same mistakes again. If you've been bitten twice in the same place you will be cautious next time you go there, it's the same for Albon. I'm expecting a conservative performance, no real results, and deserved criticism afterwards.
Fantastic hard lap in Q1, and a really solid P12 overall. No matter what happens, that hard Q1 lap proves he had no restraint like you were claiming he would.
You should really stop making so many assumptions and misunderstanding how top competitors minds' work. Making a mistake in a place is not gonna stop everybody from still being able to push hard after. I know this perfectly myself doing sim racing. Yea, maybe I'll double check myself on some non-essential laps just to get the feeling back, but typically I dont let something like a mistake create some submissive/scared situation. If you have that mentality, you've already lost and probably wouldn't ever cut it in a professional situation.
