Alex Albon admits he is waiting for confirmation that he will return to the Formula 1 grid in 2022. “Bottas could help Mercedes but Perez couldn’t help Red Bull,” Schumacher said at Zandvoort. “The level of the drivers and the teams goes up through a season, so you can’t afford to make a mistake like that,” he said. More likely, however, is that Albon will race for a non-Red Bull team next year, with the next round of official announcements due in the coming days. “I don’t know if it will be this week or next week, but almost all of the details have been settled,” Alfa Romeo team boss Frederic Vasseur said.
