Helmut Marko confirms possible replacement Albon: “Are two well-known drivers ready for 2021”

Helmut Marko has often been clear about his goals. He wanted to become champion with Red Bull Racing and Honda this year, but that has not worked and will not succeed. Mercedes is back in charge of Red Bull Racing and the whole Milton Keynes team is disappointed.

Red Bull’s engine supplier Honda has also announced that it will stop Formula 1 after 2021. This means that the formation will have to look for another engine partner. This can be Renault, but also Mercedes or Ferrari. Another option is to buy Honda’s engine division, something Red Bull would prefer. The last option is to quit Formula 1.

Despite not achieving the target, there is still a little joy. Max Verstappen can fight with Mercedes and Ferrari has been caught up. Only Max Verstappen is not satisfied with that, Marko understands that too well. “Of course Max was disappointed [over dit seizoen]especially because we didn’t achieve the goal we set for ourselves to become the youngest world champion with him. But at least the record remains in the family with Sebastian Vettel. “

There are already two drivers ready for Albon

About the other seat of 2021, Marko does not say too much to the German Sky Sports, but he does say this: “If Albon can continue to develop and improve, then he is a candidate for our car for 2021. In fast corners, Albon is on the level of Max. He only has one / two turns where he loses a lot. And then we come back to the topic of consistency. If you don’t know when and how it happens, it is an uncertainty factor that we cannot afford to the title racing. “

Marko also confirms that there are two other drivers ready to replace Albon. “If Albon does not meet our expectations, we have to look outside our team. We are strong enough and can handle all drivers. Then the two well-known candidates Perez and Hülkenberg come into play.”
