After a surprising advancement from the team Toro Rosso in the first team Red Bull Racing, has now also responded Albon. The 23-year-old claims: “It's really unrealistic to get this huge opportunity from Red Bulla. I can’t thank them enough to believe in me and make it possible for me.“It’s even more surprising to him that he progressed already in his first season Formula 1.
Albon he did well in his premiere season and showed good performances in the first half of the championship. At that time, he has 16 points on his account, which is enough for 15th place. However, he knows very well that the transfer from the midfield team to the team at the very top is something else. It starts with pressure. Degrading his predecessor Pierre Gaslya it says it all and proves what is expected of Albon, which is also aware of this: “It’s a big leap into the depths, but I already have a swimsuit on."
It's at the same time Albon also thought of his former team. “Thank you to all the guys at Toro Rosso, especially Franz Tost for this huge opportunity in Formula 1 and for the endless support in my first year."
Albon's new boss Christian horner so it is for a British officer Express said: “This is very serious. If you are competing against Verstappn, which for me is the best racer in the field at the time - that is a huge criterion for every racer. But as a racer, you always want to compete with the best."
And finally, one interesting thing: Toro Rosso looking forward to Albon and also looking forward to working with Gasly again. The young Frenchman has not yet responded.
