Horner Reveals Where Albon Stands For 2021

With both seats at Haas being filled up for 2021, Red Bull’s second seat remains the only real uncertainty as far as the driver market for next year is concerned. Some have suggested that after a lackluster year, Alex Albon the current holder of that seat could be demoted to Red Bull’s sister team AlphaTauri. Christian Horner has now revealed if that is a possibility

Red Bull Or Bust For Albon

Horner began by explaining how Albon has been closer to his teammate Max Verstappen than his predecessor at Red Bull – Pierre Gasly was

“I think you should look at how Max has developed in recent years. If you look at his average, Alex's average is closer to Max than Pierre last year”

He then explained what Albon has to do to hold on to his seat at Red Bull

“[He has] to demonstrate he’s absolutely the right guy to be in that car alongside Max next year. And we’re giving him all the support we possibly can to achieve that goal“

He further explained how Albon has a long-term contract with Red Bull

“He’s on a long-term agreement, as all Red Bull drivers are when they join the team. Our focus at the moment is on the race seat and giving him the opportunity to demonstrate he is making significant progress”

He signed off by revealing if Albon could end up at AlphaTauri

“I don’t believe he forms part of [AlphaTauri team boss] Franz’s [Tost] plans for next year, so it’s very much a Red Bull seat or a year on the bench”

Newly crowned Formula 2 champion and future F1 driver Mick Schumacher thinks “it’s very important. Bringing a championship title with you on your CV into F1, that is great “

He added that he “wanted to achieve something” himself and he “wanted to prove to” himself that he’s “here for a reason“

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff pointed out that they “have seen tests that were negative within ten days, so” he thinks his driver Lewis Hamilton returning for the race in Abu Dhabi “is perfectly feasible”

He added that “many athletes have tested positive for a long time after any symptoms and after they’ve been in any way infectious – but this is something the FIA needs to look into anyway”

Honda F1 boss Toyoharu Tanabe feels that “there is still room for improvement on both the PU and chassis side” of all four Honda-powered cars

Outgoing Haas driver Romain Grosjean feels that “if you have experienced what” he “experienced then, it is your job to help” with improving safety in motorsports

He also revealed that FIA president Jean Todt had asked him if he remembers “saying it was a bad day for Formula 1 when the halo was introduced”

He replied by saying that he remembers “and it's only stupid people that don't change their mind.’ The halo is the best thing” and that he “wouldn't race any car without a halo”

He further revealed that even though he was looking for opportunities to race outside F1 next year, the “priority now is a bit different”

He also explained that if he doesn't “race in 2021”, he'll “be cycling, kitesurfing, spending time with” his “kids, enjoying life and having time off which” he hasn't had since he “was 17”

Outgoing Racing Point driver Sergio Perez has clarified that when he was pictured speaking to Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko he “only greeted him” and added that “as they said, the decision will be taken in Abu Dhabi”

Haas team principal Guenther Steiner feels that “the most important thing was that” his future driver Nikita Mazepin “got his super license” as “there was a small chance he wouldn't make it”
Do you think the halo has now proven to be worth having?
