Albon ready to grab his biggest chance

The news on Monday morning that Frenchman Pierre Gasly would be stood down from Red Bull’s top table was not greeted with much

shock, but perhaps the news of his replacement Alex Albon was.

Gasly’s performances have been far from spectacular and he has been on thin ice since the start of the campaign in Australia back in March. And when people

started looking around for a suitable replacement, Toro Rosso’s incumbent ‘Russian Rocket’ Daniil Kvyat was the name most thought was likely to be at the top

of the shopping list, which would have completed a remarkable comeback for the driver it sacked halfway through the 2017 campaign.

But instead Red Bull has gone with the up-and-comer, the British-born Thai Albon. It fits with the firm’s philosophy of doing things in an extreme way, but it is

even more of an extreme test for Albon. He will now be measured against Max Verstappen, one of the most complete talents in Formula 1. Red Bull isn’t known

for sentiment, either. Now is the time for Albon to perform, and the glare of the spotlight will be intense. This will be his biggest test yet.

Promotion from Toro Rosso to Red Bull will be a defining moment for racer
