> There's a reason why Red Bull picked Max Verstappen over Carlos Sainz instead of having both Redbull haven’t really resolved this problem though. Max obviously has championship potential, and is their number one driver. But they haven’t managed to find a suitable teammate for him. They need their own Bottas. A driver who is comfortable being the number 2, but talented enough to lock out the front row and consistent…
Albon is still really new though. Bottas didn't get to his current form after a few years in Williams. I think Albon has the potential; this year is supposed to be the time to prove it. At least he's much better than Gasly and the team picked Albon over Kvyat. I'm really excited about him. The whole younger squad is really exciting to watch, can't wait for the battle in 3-5 years.

#91Yeah I really hope Albon does well at Redbull. He’s got a very likeable personality, and he’s clearly got the potential at least. His performance at Interlagos was fantastic, it was very sad to see him get taken out by Hamilton. I’m just not sure if Redbull have the patience to foster his talent on the No 1 squad. That’s supposed to be what Toro Rosso is for.
