Red Bull Racing have announced that Alexander Albon will be driving for the team as from the Belgian Grand Prix, the first race after the summer break in place of Pierre Gasly who will be moving back to Toro Rosso after a disastrous first half of the season with the senior team. The promotion for Albon comes after just 12 races in Formula 1, as he made his début at the beginning of the season with Toro Rosso, having finished third in last year's FIA Formula 2 Championship. A statement by Red Bull Racing read: "Alexander Albon is being promoted to the Team to drive alongside Max, while Pierre will return to the Red Bull sister team, Scuderia Toro Rosso.
Red Bull are in the unique position of having four talented Formula One drivers under contract who can be rotated between the Team and Toro Rosso. The Team will use the next nine races to evaluate Alex’s performance in order to make an informed decision as to who will drive alongside Max in 2020.
Everyone at the Team looks forward to welcoming Alex and supporting him during the next phase of his F1 career."
