Red Bull reportedly tried to re-sign Alex Albo♍n as a replacement for Sergio Perez.

According to F1 reporter Lawrence 🍸Barretto, Red Bull attempted to bring Albon back to the team from Willi🍷ams - but were unsuccessful.

After missing out on Albon, Red Bull promoted168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson as Perez’s replacement for the 2025 F1 season.

However, Lawson has struggled to adapt to life at Red Bull, failing to score ♏points in the opening two rounds of the season.

This resulted in Red Bull’s brutal decision to demote Lawson back to Racing Bulls, making way for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda to partner Verstappen for the rest of the season.

Howeওver, accor🐼ding to Barretto, Red Bull tried to re-sign Albon.

“Th♌e Milton Keynes-based squad however have never promoted a driver they have demoted previously, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t,” Barretto noted.

“Sources say they attempted to get Albon b💯ack for this season as a replacement for Perez but were unsucc🤪essful.”

Albon’s Williams resurgence

Albon has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence at Williams sinc𓆉e leaving the Red

Bull family at the end of 2021, forging an impressive F1 career of his o🍎wꦗn.

Like Pierre Gasly, Albon’♈s career at Red Bull was largely unsuccessful.

In 2020, Albo🐈n was whitewash📖ed by Verstappen in qualifying.

While Albon ended the year strongly with a podium⛦ in Bahrain and a strong drive to 🀅fourth in Abu Dhabi, he was replaced by Sergio Perez for 2021.

This left Albon on the sidelines 🌼and out of action, forced into a test and reserve role based back at the team’s factory i✃n Milton Keynes as a simulator driver.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s promotion to💦 Mercedes left a v🌞acancy for Albon, which he would fill.

Albon took his second chance with both hands, dismantling 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi in 2022.

Albon led the team in Russell-like fashion, capitalising on any 🌠days there were big points on the table for Williams.

While a question mark remained about Albon’s true level of performance due to🅷 the identity of his teammates, 🐠he quickly rebuilt his reputation.

Fast forward to 2025 alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, Albon has already prove♉n to be a tough teammate to beat.

Williams have sco💟red 17 points already in 2025 - 16 of those are courtesy of Albon.

Whether it was Albon’s choice to reject Red Bull - or Williams - sജtaying put is workღing out for him.
