Eddie Jordan has suggested that Red Bull should hand Alex Albon another opportunity alongside F1 world champion Max Verstappen and reckons he “might be a big surprise”.
Albon’s promotion to Red Bull in 2019 didn’t go well, leading to his departure from the team. However, he has shown impressive performance since joining Williams in 2022. Eddie Jordan believes that given the right circumstances, Albon could surprise everyone and perform well alongside Max Verstappen. On the other hand, David Coulthard suggests pairing Lewis Hamilton with Fernando Alonso, as they had a contentious relationship when they were teammates at McLaren. Alternatively, a young and developing rookie like Oscar Piastri, George Russell, or Charles Leclerc could learn from Hamilton for the future. Jordan is also a fan of Leclerc and would consider him a strong contender. Ultimately, Jordan would prioritize looking further down the road rather than opting for Alonso or Hamilton.
