Albon earned promotion to Red Bull mid-way through the 2019 season but was dropped at the⛄ end of the following year for not performing strongly enough💛 next to Verstappen. 

The British-Thai spent the 2021 ཧseason on the sidelines as Red Bull’s reserve but has been one of the standout performers on the F1 grid since securing a full-time return with Williams in 2022. 

“I have a real soft spot for Albon,” Jordan said on the Formula For Success poﷺdcast. “I just think that given the right situations I think he could really, really be mustard. 

“I would like to see at some stage that he be given the chance alongside Max [Verstappen], becaus𒁏e I think he might be a big surpr꧅ise.”

Discussing which driver pairing they would like to see together, David Coulthard, Jordan’s co-host, said: “I’ll put Lewis Hamilton in there for sure. As someone that is just a winning machine when the vehicle i♏s below him.

“I’ll put Fernando [Alonso] alongside him, just to see. When we ask the questions about the great rivalries, they didn’t really get along when they were team-mates back in the McLaren days, the fir💫st time, but how would it be now 39 [years 🔯old] in the case of Lewis and the other’s 42.

“But if it waꦍsn’t someone like Fernando, I’ll go for a young developing rookie to learn off of Lewis for the future.

“So that could be an Oscar [Piastri], it could be a George [Russell]. Charles [Leclercꦫ]. They’re all great drivers.”

Jordan agreed with Coulthard’s suggestion 🐈of Leclerc, adding: “I’m a huge fan of Leclerc. I’ll probably have him in there, for sure.

“Lewis would be very hard to overlook but I’d be sort of thin🐼king of further down the road. So therefore, I wouldn’t have Alonso and I wouldn’t have Lewis necessarily.”
