AlphaTauri boss Franz Tost says he expects Red Bull to make a decision about its drivers for the 2021 Formula 1 season by the end of October or early Nove🍸mber at the latest.

Pierre Gasly’s outstanding start to the 2020 campaign – which included a shock maiden F1 victory last time out in Italy – has seen his name linked with a possible return to the Red Bull senior teaꦯm.

Gasly was demoted just 12 races into hi🅰s Red Bull stint and his replacement, Alex Albon,♛ has endured a difficult start to the 2020 season.

Red Bull is also e🐎valuating the progress of Honda protégé Yuki Tsunoda in Formula 2 and could potentially promote the Japanese racer into F1 next year.

"The driver question will come up with Red🧸 Bull in the end of Oc🧜tober, beginning of November," Tost said on Sky Sports F1.

"We will see how everything is continuing in.

"༒And then Red Bull makes a decision which driver is racing in which 🦄team."

Gasly said he now felt “ready” to return to Red Bull if called upon following his first win a🐻t Mo🍌nza.

Speaking a🐼bout the Frenchman’s performances this year, Tost added: "He belo🌠ngs to the best Red Bull young drivers.

"He is able to win races, or at least one race until now. But he showed as well in the💛 past that he is able to win races and championships, and that's important.

"I rate him very high, because what𓆏 he showed in Monza was really a fantastic race, how he controlled the pace, and how he made clear to Carlos that there is no way that he has a chance to pass him.

"He drove, I must say, a very, very matured race. Therefore I🅺 rate him very high."
