Albon does not think of plan B yet after positive weekend in Turkey

Alexander Albon's chair is a coveted item in the Formula 1 paddock. It is more or less the only seat left in a competitive team that has not yet captured a driver for 2021. Albon's achievements lately were not to be overlooked, although the Turkish Grand Prix was a ray of hope.

Just before Albon spoke at the press conference for the Bahrain Grand Prix, Sergio Perez was already speaking and he left no doubt about his intentions to ride at Red Bull Racing next year. Albon is under a lot of pressure so he is trying to keep his focus.

Albon has plan B, but doesn't think about it yet.

That focus will be on the last three races of this season, he says at the press conference against Motorsport-Total.com and others. He says he does have a plan B, but he is not yet looking at it. He focuses entirely on plan A and that's keeping his seat at Red Bull Racing. He explains that he has a positive opinion of the Istanbul race in this respect - even though it wasn't a top result in the end. He has made progress in his pace and has three more races to prove himself

If that does not succeed, there is a real chance that he will not drive Formula 1 next year. Pierre Gasly has already been confirmed at AlphaTauri and Red Bull is making all the preparations to have Yuki Tsunoda take over Daniil Kvyat's seat there. A possible plan B at AlphaTauri would be possible for Albon if the Japanese do not get enough points for a super license.
