Alex Albon, who spent the last two years at Williams, attracted attention with his performance this season. Albon, who had a good race in the Dutch Grand Prix, managed to score points.
After this performance, Albon's name began to be associated with Red Bull, where he competed in 2019-2020. Albon lost his seat to Sergio Perez before the 2021 season. Now his name is being mentioned to replace the Mexican driver.
However, Red Bull's Motorsport Chief Helmut Marko has revealed that Perez has a contract until the end of 2024 and they are not considering Albon for the seat.
“Sergio has a deal by the end of next year,” said Marko. said.
“We are putting pressure on him to do better because we want him to finish second in the championship.”
“Being Max's teammate is a very difficult job. When you become his teammate, you have a very difficult and tough life.”
“We've already given Albon an opportunity before.”
“He has improved a lot since then, but I don’t see a driver at Max’s level right now.”
Marko's statements indicate that it is highly unlikely that Albon will return to Red Bull at the moment. Williams takes the championship in seventh place this year, thanks to Albon's 15 points.
