Red Bull reportedly tried to re-sign Alex A🌟lbon as a replacement 𒁃for Sergio Perez.

According to F1 reporter Lawrence Barretto, Red Bull attempted to bring Albon back to the team from Will💧iams - but were 🐷unsuccessful.

After missing out on Albon, Red Bull promoted168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson as Perez’s replacement for the 2025 F1 season.

However,ཧ Lawson has struggled to adapt to life at Red Bull, failing to score points in the opening two rounds of the season.

This resulted in Red Bull’s brutal decision to demote Lawson back to Racing Bulls, making way for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda to partner Verstappen for the rest of the season.

However, according to Barretto, Red🌞 Bull tried to re-sign Alꦗbon.

“The Milton Keynes-based squad howeve🎃r have never promoted a driver they have demoted previously, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t,” Barretto noted.

“Sources say they attempted to get Albon back for this season as a🐽 replacement for Perez but were unsuccessful.”

Albon’s Williams resurgence

Albon has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence a𒁃t Williams since leaving the Red

Bull family at the e🌳nd of 2021, forging an impressive F1 career of his own.

Like Pierre Gasly, Albon’s career at Red🐟 Bull was largely unsuccess🔴ful.

In 2020, Albon was whitewash🐈ed by Verstappen in qualifying.

While Albon ended the year strongly with a podium in Bahrain ♔and a strong drive 🗹to fourth in Abu Dhabi, he was replaced by Sergio Perez for 2021.

This left Albon ꦺon the sidelines and out of action, forced into a test and reserve role based back at the team’s factory in Milton Keܫynes as a simulator driver.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s promotion to Mercedes left a vacancy for Aꦏlbon,꧟ which he would fill.

Albon took his second chance with both hands, dismantling 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi in 2022.

Albon led the team in Russell-like fashion, capitalising on any days there were💃 big points on the table for Williams.

Whℱile a question mark remained about Albon’s true level of performance due to the identity of his teammates, he quickly rebuilt his reputation.

Fast forward to 2025 alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz🐭, Albon has already proven to be a toug🧸h teammate to beat.

William༒s have scored 17 points already in 2025 - 16 of those are courtesy of Albon.

Whether it was Albon’s choice to reject Red Bull - or Williams - staying put is working out for him.&nb🧔sp;
