Gasly out, Albon in.

Alexander Albon replaces Pierre Gasly at Red Bull.

Interesting. Some thought it would be Kvyat.

I'm glad Red Bull pulled the trigger. Gasly had 12 races to settle in and start showing results. No one expected him to challenge Verstappen, just to get closer to the potential of the car.

Now Albon has 9 races to do the same. That's plenty. I didn't get much of an impression of him at Toro Rosso. Wasn't paying attention.

Gasly now has 9 races to resurrect his career. It will be interesting to see if he's immediately more comfortable with the Toro Rosso car.

Doesn't this mean Kvyat's career is toast? He had one chance, and now Red Bull has declined to give him another. If Albon doesn't work out, would Red Bull consider Kvyat for next year? Maybe if he shows strong results in the last 9 races. The pressure is on for all three of these guys.
