Speaking ahead of this w♛eekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, H🍰orner reaffirmed his faith in Albon.

“He’s got his bum in the car and everyone wants to see him retain that seat,” Horner said. “He’s got to lock out the outside noise, get his head down, have a good weekend. It’s great to be back at Im🍬ola, it’s an old school circuit, it’s a different type of race weekend as well with more condensed running. And yeah, just get stuck into the wee💙kend and get as much as we can out of the car.

Albon was also asked about his future and concedes that the speculation is normal and says performing on-track 𝔍will put an end to the rumours.

“Yeah, there’s talk, there’ll always be talk,” Albon said. “But at the end of the day, I know listening to whatever has 🍌to be said doesn’t change anything on-track. ꦡ;

“My focus is more on driving and the results more than anything else. ༒I know that if I focus on that, all the other stuff will quiet down a bit. These things happen, but I focus on the job and that’s all that matters.”
