Max Verstappen is working with Alexander Albon on his second teammate in a year. After Daniel Ricciardo left the team at the end of 2018, successively Pierre Gasly and Albon failed to convince. In fact, they were far short and in the case of Gasly caused him to lose his seat. Albon’s position is not yet directly under pressure, but the message is clear: it must be improved, and it must be done quickly.
Tom Coronel lets talk to RacingNews365 know that Red Bull has only one option: “Sebastian Vettel!”
“Max just needs back cover, because with Albon closer to him, Bottas couldn’t execute his strategy. I think Albon and Gasly are seriously good drivers, but Max is just too good.”
“Albon has to close the gap to Max, he has to be shorter. That is expected of him, but that will not happen. It is nonsense that they put him in that car because Red Bull is half in Thai hands is, they just want to win world titles. If they thought he was not good enough, they wouldn’t have. However, it has now turned out that he is not good enough. As far as he was behind Max on Sunday, he can Just no!”
In the middle of the season there are few options and in addition, Red Bull does not have any drivers available who would do better than Albon expects Coronel. “There is no one else available. Red Bull just has to get Vettel back. He has a lot of experience and is a four-time world champion. Why wouldn’t you take him? Of course they are now saying that they are not doing it, but that is also to Albon. to protect.”
“If Vettel also gets spanking from Max at Red Bull then it is clear. Then the Red Bull is just too slow and then it is no longer the second driver.”
According to Coronel, it is not a luxury position to be a teammate of Verstappen: “Max is exceptionally good. There have been very few in Formula 1 history. Then you are talking about drivers like Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton.”
