AlphaTauri has of course, now confirmed him for the 2021 season. But, it perplexes Gasly why Red Bull did not even consider him – especially when scrutiny is increasing over Alex Albon’s future.
Gasly is quoted as saying, “I’m not disappointed, I’m just surprised. In 14 years Seb won a race with Toro Rosso, I’m the only other driver who won a race.”

What do Red Bull want from their 2021 drivers’ lineup then?
Now that Gasly will continue with AlphaTauri, questions will again be asked of who could occupy Red Bull’s second seat. The team’s emphasis has been Albon justifying through his performances, to lay claim on it for 2021.
But, the dangling speculation of either of Sergio Perez or Nico Hulkenberg occupying it, remains. And that will only intensify further, if Albon cannot deliver per expectations at Imola and Istanbul.
