Red Bull are yet to settle on their two team driver lineups, with only Max Verstappen guaranteed a drive for next season. One driver burned by the early promotion to Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen, was Alex Albon who mid-season in 2019 replaced Pierre Gasly after the Hungarian Grand Prix. Albon completed one full season alongside Verstappen in 2020, before Red Bull jettisoned him late in the year, forcing him to sit out of F1 in 2021. Rumours have emerged that Red Bull are looking to re-recruit Alex Albon for 2026. Italian F1 journalist Roberto Chinchero believes Albon would only move from Williams were he to be offered a drive with the Red Bull team.
