George Russell, Lando Norris and Alexander Albon all moved on from Formula 2 to the pinnacle of motorsport in 2019. Albon is the only one of the trio who will not be able to get a seat next season. Russell supports his good friend.

Sergio Perez has been contracted by Red Bull Racing to drive alongside Max Verstappen in 2021. This is at the expense of the young British Thai who will have to make do with a reserve role. Albon would undoubtedly have imagined things differently at the end of the year.

Fortunately, the 24-year-old driver has good support from Russell, among others. The Williams driver is sure that Albon will return to Formula 1 in the near future. "You will be back mate"
