Alexander Albon’s year and a half at Red Bull is still fairly fresh in the memory. Did he do very badly? Looking at Sergio Perez, you would think not. But he did, by his own admission, sell himself short.
The 2019 Formula 1 season was a roller-coaster ride for Alex Albon, as he went from planning to race in Formula E to being called up by Red Bull to drive for Toro Rosso. This turned into one of the fastest promotions in F1 history, as he replaced Pierre Gasly. However, the media attention and lack of experience in providing technical feedback proved to be challenging for Albon. Additionally, he put too much pressure on himself by saying yes to everything, which affected his performance on track. The year on the sidelines allowed him to reflect and he now focuses more on his own interests and finding a balance between being ready for the team and making the team want to be ready for him.
