What happens at the level of a second or other driver in Red Bull Racing is sad, pathetic and funny at the same time. This was probably felt (very rightly) by that driver who did not want to (again...) sign a contract with the Bulls.
Over the last few years, Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing have eaten up many drivers, and the further back in time we go, the more we feel that the former were the best. For example, Daniel Ricciardo or Alexander Albon.... Press sources suggest that the selection of Liam Lawson was a kind of forced situation at RB, because they didn't really want Lawson, they just wanted to bring back the previous driver. However, he refused Helmut Marko, which led to a coup. We can remember when Albon was demoted, he even dropped out of F1 and tried to root himself in DTM. Since then, he has been a member of the Williams team and has many unforgettable points and great results under his belt, as well as a much more predictable vision of the future, despite the fact that the technique was not the most stable. This was also recognized by his former team, and although they had never promoted anyone again before, in the case of Albon they were very keen to make an exception.
Well, they fell over...
