A splendid performance in Belgium went a long way to dispel inhibitions regarding Red Bull Racing replacing Pierre Gasly with Alexander Albon mid-season. Alex is likely to continue lending weight to the team’s decision of switching to him.

While Gasly looks more comfortable in the Toro Rosso than he ever did in the RB15, the Thai driver settled in with his new team and in the Red Bull far more easily. With Max Verstappen taking on penalties this weekend, most of the team’s hopes, especially in qualifying will rest with the 23-year-old.

Albon would be looking to make the seat permanently his, as shown by his bold overtakes last weekend. He has a point to prove, especially because he knows there won’t be multiple chances to showcase his racing prowess with the Milton Keynes based outfit.
