Red Bull have been warned against putting Fernando Alonso in
the RB21 alongside Max Verstappen, Christijan Albers saying he should only be
considered as a replacement for the Dutchman.
Red Bull are at best in the hunt for one new driver for next
year’s championship as Sergio Perez is always one bad race weekend away from
being dropped by the team.
Christijan Albers: I can never see Alonso next to Verstappen
At worst, they may require two new drivers with F1’s rumour
mill continuing to link Verstappen to Lewis Hamilton’s soon-to-be-vacant
Mercedes seat.
Red Bull, though, are not short of options for 2025 with
double World Champion Alonso said to be on the list of candidates.
According to former F1 driver turned pundit Ralf Schumacher,
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is a “very, very big fan” of Alonso’s.
