Best season 3rd (2019)

Is this the yearRed Bull gives Max

Verstappen a car that cangenuinely

challengefor the world championship?

Up until now, its chassis have been

typically strong on certain types of high-

downforce circuits, such as Hungary, but

weak on power circuits where a premium

is put on straight-line speed (think Spa

or Monza). But as Honda reaches parity

with its engine rivals, the MiltonKeynes

outfit should be in a positionto challenge.

Verstappen has been rewarded with a new

long-term deal, so the path is setfor Red

Bull to returnto the top.

GP RACING VERDICT

Although he remains a hard,exciting racer,

Max has lost some of theover- exuberance

which made him an incident-magnet.

Best season 8th (2019)

Spend time in the company of Alex Albon

and you will discover one of the nicest

drivers on the grid. But his happy-go-lucky

attitude belies a steely determinationto

succeed. It hasn’t been an easy journeyfor

Albonto get to F1, but when he arrived at

Toro Rosso last year he made an immediate

impact, and was quickly promotedto the

Red Bull seat during the summer break

the theexpense of Pierre Gasly. The

honeymoon isover for theLondon-born

Thai racer and now it is timeto measure

up againstVerstappen, who is one of the

standout performers on the grid.

GP RACING VERDICT

If Albon can stay outof trouble andbe a

strategicwingmanto scoop points and help

Max, he’ll have no fear of losinghis seat.
