I feel bad for Albon, he’s clearly got a lot of talent, but just lacking a bit on Saturday afternoons. Of course we’ll see how well Perez goes next year, he’s not known for his Saturdays either.
I keep thinking about how much time Verstappen was given to mature. He had a full year in the Torro Rosso, and while he won his first race in the RBR he then had a very scrappy and poor couple of years where he spent half the time crashing. All through that he was supported and nurtured and today he’s a really formidable opponent. I don’t think either Albon or Gasly were given half as many chances as that.
