Max Verstappen: “It’s a shame for Pierre”

This time he will be in the role of informed observer during the next Belgian Grand Prix (September 1). If, in 2016, Max Verstappen had been at the heart of the exchange between Red Bull et Toro Rosso with Daniil Kvyat, the Dutchman will see Alex Albon replace Pierre Gasly in Spa in a fortnight.

An internal change which does not seem to disturb Jos Verstappen's son. “Of course it’s a shame for Pierre, but personally I don’t care who my teammate is, admits the winner of Hockenheim quoted by De Telegraaf.

The objective is to have good performance with the other car and thus score more points for the team. »

Alex Albon will, however, have a heavy task to accomplish in Belgium, Red Bull having clearly announced that the “The last nine races of the year would be used to assess Albon’s performance to make a decision for the 2020 line-up.”

The Thai signed a sixth place as his best result for his rookie year at the German Grand Prix.
