He may have lost his race seat to Sergio Perez, but Alex Albon remains an important member of Red Bull Racing according to Team Principal Christian Horner, who says the team thought “long and hard” about replacing him.
Albon raced for Red Bull for a season and a half, having earned promotion in place of Pierre Gasly midway through his rookie campaign in 2019 after a series of impressive performances for Toro Rosso.
He scored two podiums this season – in Mugello and Bahrain – but was outpaced significantly by Verstappen, who won twice, over the course of the season and ultimately finished 109 points behind the Dutchman in the standings.
