How Albon plans to fight his way out of Red Bull limbo
Alex Albon has faced the media for the first time since he lost his Red Bull drive at the end of 2020 and dropped out of a Formula 1 race seat altogether. He has a history of bouncing back from setbacks, so here's what he must do to rise again
This time a year ago, Alex Albon knew his 2020 task was to save his Formula 1 drive with Red Bull.
What followed was a season that started with such promise - including the brief chance of a shock win in the season opener before that clash with Lewis Hamilton - but quickly became ever more painful. It ended on a high, and included two podium finishes (something Pierre Gasly didn't manage as a Red Bull driver), but the rise merely brought Albon back to where he'd more or less been.
