Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram Surreal to have been given this massive opportunity with @redbullracing ! Can’t thank you enough for believing in me and making this possible. It’s a big jump into the deep end, but I’ve got my swimming shorts on! 😄 Thanks to all the guys at @tororosso, especially Franz Tost for the massive opportunity in F1 and the never-ending support throughout my first year! Now to focus for my first race with the team in Spa 🇧🇪 Een bericht gedeeld door Alex Albon (@alex_albon) op 12 Aug 2019 om 12:58 (PDT)

Commiserations to Pierre, but he rides again and is still in the game. Good luck to Alex, he’s arrived in F1 in great style, but will need every tool and trick in the F1 drivers’ repertoire to survive in Max’s lair. With the star maker/grim reaper forensically observing his data. https://t.co/lTwHW3xCwm — Martin Brundle (@MBrundleF1) August 12, 2019

I know there will be fans of @PierreGASLY who will be angry about this. But he lives to fight again another day. Personally I would have given @kvyatofficial another stab at the big time. Drivers rarely let it slip through their fingers a second time. It hurts too much #f1 https://t.co/dIPOBu3kDz — Damon Hill (@HillF1) August 12, 2019

I do feel for Gasly but F1 is a tough business & Helmut is a tough boss (he called me an old man when I was a 23 year old RB junior!)... Great opportunity for @alex_albon - driven very well so far with standout performances in China & Germany. Big challenge going up against Max! — Karun Chandhok (@karunchandhok) August 12, 2019
