Alexander Albon returns to F2022 in 1 as a Williams racer

Alexander Albon is returning to the starting line of Formula 1 in the Williams team. The Red Bull protégé will replace George Russell, who is leaving for Mercedes after the end of the season. Williams had a lot of racers to choose from, but in the end he opted for the Thai. Even Nicholas Latifi, who is in his second season on the team, will retain his seat despite speculation that he could leave. Albon has had an outstanding career in motorsport so far. At a young age, he was accepted into the Red Bull program, but when his mother was sent to prison, his form on the track deteriorated. Albon was soon excluded from the program, but found support in Thailand to pursue a racing career. https://twitter.com/WilliamsRacing/status/1435575842747334663 After third place in Formula 2, he was suddenly called back by Helmut Marko, who

PENALTY POINTS of the 2020 season: VETTEL from villain to saint

formula 1

From villain to saint: Sebastian Vettel has made a remarkable change on the track this season, at least in terms of penalty points. Last year, the German would have won this "competition", but this year he did not earn a single point. At the top of this season’s penalty points table is Alex Albon, who lost his seat at Red Bull for a second year. The Briton of Thai roots was the only one to score seven points. In Silverstone (collision with Magnussen), Monza (expulsion of Grosjean), Sochi (wrong return to the track) and Nürburgring (collision with Quiat). Otherwise, Lewis Hamilton would have reigned supreme if the commissioners in Sochi had not subsequently deleted his penalty points for testing starts in the wrong place. Thus, the current champion with six points took only the second place, which he shares with his compatriot George Russell. Hamilton

ALBON: Losing a seat at RED BULL was painful

Red Bull

Red Bull officially confirmed last Friday that Sergio Perez will be racing alongside Max Verstappn in the 2021 season. His predecessor Alex Albon tried in the first team of the Red Bulls to get closer to his Dutch teammate, but he did not succeed. The bosses demoted him to the team’s test and reserve racer as a result. The young Tajec responded on the social network and claimed to have done his best and thanked everyone who supported him this season. "I don't want to lie, I'm telling you it hurts. I did my best, but obviously it wasn't enough. I would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported me all year, especially my fans from Thailand. With I have always had you with all the different opinions that you have supported me through this period, I will not give up, I have invested all my life

VERSTAPPEN is teasing MERCEDES with its new teammate

Red Bull

Max Verstappen will have his second teammate at Red Bull for the fourth time in a row next year. After Daniel Ricciard, Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon, Sergio Perez is now following. The arrival of the freshly baked Formula 1 race winner was very positively received by the team leader. Verstappen sees good opportunities to put concrete pressure on Mercedes together with Perez. Albon did not have these qualities. “Race faster and get closer to other race cars (Mercedes),” reads Verstappn’s Perez standard. "Checo is a good guy, he starts great and he is a very good racer. He is intelligent and because of that I think that is what will make a difference," believes the Dutchman, who with the Mexican finally found a real replacement for the structure at Red Bull. "So in fact I made a contract with him. I had the right to be resolute

OFFICIAL: Sergio PEREZ signed for RED BULL, ALBON will reserve

Red Bull

It has been whispered for a long time, but now it is all official. Red Bull Racing has officially confirmed that Sergio Perez will be sitting in the race car driven by Alex Albon this season. Albon has declined to reserve racer status after being a regular Red Bull racer alongside Max Verstappn for the past 18 months. Perez’s arrival is the last big rosary for the upcoming Formula 1 season, as the only remaining open seat at Mercedes is more or less already handed over to Lewis Hamilton, who is expected to sign a new contract in the coming days. According to Mark Webber, the Mexican is the first Red Bull racer to come from their youth ranks. https://twitter.com/redbullracing/status/1339937725793841152 Sergio Perez has his best season of his career behind him this year, winning it

BERGER on ALBON and PEREZ: Red Bull is loyal

Red Bull

Gerhard Berger was a guest on the show "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar-7" on Servus TV, talking about the just-concluded Formula 1 season. The Austrian was looking forward to Red Bull's victory in Abu Dhabi. "Max is an outstanding racer, he is always in the forefront and the race is at the highest level." Berger continues: "The key to winning the final race of the season was Saturday. Normally, with the special power of a Mercedes engine, it's almost impossible to win a pole position, but Max did it on the Yas Marina Circuit. And if you then take the lead in the race, then you don't drive in so-called dirty air, which makes it easier to control the race. And that's exactly what Max did. " Gerhard Berger said Red Bull were loyal to their own offspring, but acknowledged that the Verstappen-Perez racing alliance would be very strong.

Alex ALBON: I did everything I could to KEEP THE SEAT

Red Bull

Christian Horner praised him after the race for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but the future of the British racer in the Red Bulls remains under great question. Albon drove a very solid race in Abu Dhabi. He started from the fifth starting position, then overtook Norris, and in the end he also threatened Lewis Hamilton in third place, but he ran out of laps. After the race, when asked by reporters about the race itself and his future, he replied: "I think it was the best weekend of the season, at least as far as my show is concerned. I would like to thank everyone on the team for all the help. We didn't give up, we always looked new solutions that made me feel better in the car. I have to admit that the Red Bull RB16 is not the easiest to drive. " https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQ2e-PBAfo/ "I think I am

Is everything clear and agreed between RED BULL and PEREZ?

formula 1

After yesterday's race of the Abu Dhabi GP, even the always critical Helmut Marko was satisfied with Alex Albon's performance. "It was one of his best races." But whether Tajec secured a seat next year with this show, at least, has not yet been officially accepted. On Sunday night, Ted Kravitz, a journalist for British television Sky, aroused Perez fans in his report when he said that Helmut Mark and Christian Horner had managed to convince Dietrich Mateschitz to sign with Sergio Perez for the 2021 season. Albon, on the other hand, is set to take on the role of test racer. The decision, according to Kravitz, could be announced today or by the end of this week. Helmut Marko only said that they will decide before Christmas. "We will reconsider and then make a decision

VN ABU DABIJA, FP3: MAX VERSTAPPEN wins general of last qualifications 2020

GP Abu Dhabi

Behind us is the third free practice of the Abu Dhabi GP, the general of the afternoon qualifiers, which is of secondary importance here on the Arabian Peninsula. The fact is that the training is in daylight and the qualifications are in the evening or in the evening, which makes the conditions completely different. And since the third training - like yesterday's first - took place in daylight and the qualifications will only take place on the eve of local time, it was no surprise that the first race car went to the track only after twenty minutes. The best time in the end was achieved by Max Verstappen in front of teammates Alex Albon and Daniel Ricciard from the Renault team. https://twitter.com/F1/status/1337715295092412416 Results of today's third free practice of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

ALBON wasted an opportunity: HORNER threatens him with a SPARE BENCH

Red Bull

Alex Albon wasted a great opportunity in the last race of the Sakhir GP to be recommended by the Red Bull bosses for a new contract in the 2021 season. however, they landed behind him due to the catastrophe at the stops. The Red Bull racer, whose seat is fairly shaky, is confused. Even more likely because team boss Christian Horner had a bad conscience for him. “I don’t believe he is in Franz Tost’s plans in terms of next season,” Horner said, looking at Albon’s eventual return to the AlphaTauri team. In 2019, Red Bull sent Pierre Gasly to the sister team in a similar situation. The Frenchman took the opportunity and has his refreshed Formula 1 career
