2016 Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg has tipped Alex Albon to return to Red Bull to replace the under-pressure
After being dropped by Red Bull, Albon has rebuilt his career at Williams and has been performing exceptionally well, scoring all of the team’s 23 points in 2023. Former F1 champion, Nico Rosberg, believes that Albon would be the ideal candidate to replace Perez at Red Bull next year. However, Albon’s long-term contract with Williams could be a potential obstacle. Perez has been struggling in his third season with Red Bull, trailing behind his teammate Verstappen by 209 points. Red Bull advisor, Helmut Marko, has hinted that Perez may be replaced if his performances do not improve. Albon, despite being thrashed by Verstappen previously, has expressed his willingness to test himself again at a top team. Thanks to Albon’s efforts, Williams is on track to achieve its highest placing in the Constructors’ Championship since 2017, currently sitting in seventh place.
