What is happening at the level of the second or other driver at Red Bull Racing is at once sad, pitiful and ridiculous. That driver probably felt it (very rightly) when he did not want to be contractually bound to the bulls again.
In recent years, Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing have already used up a lot of drivers and the further back in time we go, the more we feel that the best were the first ones. For example, Daniel Ricciardo or Alexander Albon.... Press sources believe that the choice of Liam Lawson was a kind of forced move in RB, because they didn't really want Lawson, but wanted to get the previous driver back. However, he dumped Helmut Marko, which caused the dominoes to fall. We can remember when Albon was demoted, he even dropped out of F1 and tried to establish himself in the DTM. Since then, he has been a member of the Williams team and his name is associated with a lot of unforgettable points gains and great results, despite not exactly the best technology. The team of his former mentors also saw it well and, although they had never promoted anyone back before, in Albon's case they would like to make an exception.
Well, they fell flat on their faces...
