Alex Albon has revealed that he used the respective comparison data from his time alongside Max Verstappen versus other drivers
Anglo-Thai driver Albon was promoted to partner Verstappen at Red Bull after competing in 12 F1 races. However, he struggled with the RB16 in the 2020 season, failing to outqualify Verstappen once. His performance was heavily outscored by Verstappen, leading to his replacement by Sergio Perez. In an effort to return to the F1 grid, Albon gathered statistics on Gasly, himself, and Perez compared to Verstappen. He presented this data to team bosses and earned a reprieve with Williams. Albon believes his struggles were exacerbated by Red Bull’s less competitive performance in 2020 compared to Perez’s debut season with the team.
