Ciao !
Red Bull has said its evaluation of Albon com꧑es as part of its considerations for the second seat at the team in 2020, with Max Verstappen setܫ to remain for next year.
ꦏHaving 𝐆worked with Gasly and his new Toro Rosso teammate, Daniil Kvyat, through 2015 and the early part of 2016, Albon is the only driver under the Red Bull umbrella that remains an unknown quantity for the senior team ahead of next year.
