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...
