Alex Albon has retained the backing of Red Bull, despite returning to Formula 1 with Mercedes-powered Williams in 2022. At Zandvoort, Toto Wolff warned that he may block the British-born Thai driver’s Williams deal if title rival Red Bull does not sever ties with Albon. “All I can say that he will be a Williams driver in 2022 – period.”. “I repeat: Alex will be a Williams driver in 2022, and we will decide what he does and what he does not,” Capito insisted. Fascinatingly, Capito is not even ruling out the appearance of Red Bull logos on next year’s Williams – amid rumours of a later switch for the Grove based team to Red Bull power.
