Alexander Albon so he has four more racing weekends to prove his skills on the first team as well Red Bull, where he progressed after the summer break Formula 1. Tajec is at that time the first candidate to v 2020 becomes / remains a teammate Max Verstappen. This is in an interview with colleagues from Motorsport-Total.com confirmed the sporting boss of the Red Bulls Helmut Marko.
To the concrete question of whether Albon among all possible candidates at the time in the pole position, is Marko replied: "We said we would wait a little longer. But from what we have seen so far with him, I can say: Yes.“Clearly, he will be the second racer at best Red Bull came from his own kind. In addition Albon, so they also have options Daniil Kvyat in Pierre Gasly. And the decision is not far off, because: “After the race in Mexico, you should know what we intend to do,”He announced Marko.
Option to z Nicom Hülkenberg hired a routine Formula 1, Yippee Marko excluded. Otherwise, it has recently come to light that it has Nemec in the summer break very much offered Red Bull, but Marko he told him at some point not to call him again. With that, the topic was over. “We have Red Bullov program of young racers, from which all our racers have come so far. Hülkenberg does not fit into this program at all. If Albon will continue to show such performances, then why should we bring another racer to the team?"
Marko he adds, yes Verstappen needs a fast teammate: “I believe we found this with Albon. So far he is doing a very good job and is constantly improving. He had never raced in Singapore before, but he was by far the best rookie. And for Max, we need a strong colleague. Also in terms of design championship.”In order to Gasley, only after half a year degradation, returned to the first team, could almost be ruled out, but apparently Marko did not resent the young Frenchman so much that he would not be called up to the first team again.
Kvyat he proved with good performances that he could represent at least plan B, if Albon do Mexico relented and would not meet the team’s expectations. Rus is confident - or strongly hopes - to stay in Red Bull program. “This will most likely be for at least a year. Then we will see how to proceed.He assesses his position as very good, because: "I have a good season, I took the first podium to Toro Rosso after a very long time and I feel great in the team," so Kvyat. Promotion to the first team (although he would also be a returnee himself) would be his dream, but: “Do I believe I deserved it, it plays no role in that. It just depends on the key people Red Bulla. Do they think I’ve shown enough to deserve this cockpit as well."But everything shows that Kvjat will continue to race for Toro Rosso next season, as Marko in Singapore - intentionally or unintentionally - confirmed him internally for the 2020 season.
From the rest of the staff red bulls, the current four racers Red Bull in Red Bull there is no danger. Daniel Ticktum was fired months ago from the program, a career in formula racing Lucas Auerja, nephew Gerhard Berger, according to Brand approaching the end, Japanese racers where you would Honda wanted to bring at least one, but they are still too inexperienced, in addition, they must first obtain the required number of points for super license.
