But Formula 1 kept pulling and in 2023 he returned to the sport, this time with the Williams Racing team.

    He certainly deserves a chance, now that Perez is not delivering enough for 2024, a place next to Max Verstappen?

    • Philippe says up

      Completely agree, especially if he is half Thai like Red Bull .. would be a nice story.

    • Boonya says up

      Albon himself has indicated that he wants to stay with Williams. I don't see him moving to another team.
      And he will never go to Red|Bull again as long as Max is there.
      Why would he go?
      He says himself, I'm in my place with williams.

  2. Ralph says up

    Alex Albon already drove a season and a half alongside Verstappen in August 2019 until Dec.2020.
    Didn't make such a strong impression and was then replaced by Perez.

    • Peter (editor) says up

      Besides Max, no one impresses. Perez doesn't bake much anymore either.

  3. William Korat says up

    The man has already driven next to Max as Ralph indicates.
    Was already written off as not the right man next to Max.
    Perez has a dip, but still shows that it is there, starting very at the back, still driving forward.
    Year is still long Gentlemen.
    And if not with Perez, there is a third driver waiting who has also driven alongside Max.
    Smiley face Daniel Ricciardo.
