Re: Albon at Red Bull from Spa!

Good for Albon. Is it, though? Albon has half a season to come to terms with a car that has been built around a driver who is the best we've seen in many years. Of course Albon might settle in and deliver immediately, but the odds are very much stacked in favour of him being consigned to the dustbi...

I spoke to a Pirelli engineer I know who is embedded with McLaren (who happens to be the son of a bloke I work with) and he says there is a good probability of rain for saturday and sunday. 36C ambient yesterday so they esimate at least 55C track temperature. McLaren is looking good, according to him.
