Helmut Marko has said that Red Bull's driver line up for 2020 will be confirmed after the American Grand Prix. There is much speculation over who the team will go for with Max Verstappen a certainty. There are rumours that Sebastian Vettel could return to the team but Marko has rejected these. 

"I have no idea where Sebastian Vettel's future lies," the Austrian says to Speedweek“We have had some wonderful years, but now we have four drivers. Vettel is not relevant to us."

Marko praised Alex Albon for fitting into the team so quickly and is a genuine option for the 2020 seat.  

“He fits well within the team and immediately makes a strong impression with his debut in Belgium. From the first round, he was immediately there."

However, it seems that the Red Bull line up could change again before the start of the 2020 season. 

"After the GP of America (early November) We will evaluate who will ride where," Marko said. 

It will be interesting to see who Red Bull chose to driver alongside Verstappen.
