Mercedes shipped Van Doorne and Wehrlein off without ever having had a change in the main team. Russell is in waiting and who knows if he doesn't suffer the same fate as Wehrlein.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑27 Oct 2020, 13:23Standard fare for Red Bull and their "driver programme". Throw in young drivers and just leave them to sink or swim. If they sink, chuck them away with their careers all but ruined. Rinse, repeat. If the young drivers is lucky, he'll get a second chance in another team and be able to show his talent. Otherwise, he's washed up and washed out. I can't help but think that RedBull's problem is partly their own making in this regard.
Albon might find another seat in F1 or he might be lucky and find a seat in another formula/series altogether. Or become a TV commentator.
I can't say you are totally wrong but the tone seems a bit too spitefull in the way I view it. There was also a lot of pressure from the outside to demote Gasly (and they did keep him on). I never was one of those who called for his blood but a lot of people were screaming for it, just like now with Albon. For me he can stay (like I thought for Gasly)but look in this very topic, or elsewhere to see what pressure is exerted on RBR to remove him from the seat.
