For Albon it's Red Bull or nothing

At the end of the contract on the side of Red Bull, Alex Albon does not yet know what his future will hold. If finding the sister team Alpha Tauri seemed to be a possibility in order to relaunch it, the Austrian management does not seem to be of the same opinion.

« I don't think he's part of Franz's plans (Tost, boss of Alpha Tauri) for the next year, explains Christian Horner. So it will be a seat at Red Bull or a year on the sidelines ».

To secure this seat at Milton Keynes, Alex Albon must finish the 2020 season in the best possible way in order to convince his superiors. “ The goal is to give him an opportunity. There are two more races, continues the Red Bull Team Principal. He did a good job last weekend with a podium, his second in Formula 1.

He now has two more weekends to prove he is the right driver to race with Max (Verstappen) next year. We give him all our possible support so that he achieves this. ».

Alex Albon therefore knows what he has to do. Ensure his last two outings of the year or wait until 2022 to hope to make his return to the paddock. Pressure.
