Alex Albon's future will be decided in the upcoming races. During the race weekend at Imola he was again disappointing and hopes to bounce back during the Turkish Grand Prix. 

Alexander Albon will not remember the race at Imola with much joy. The British-Thai driver of Red Bull Racing still qualified reasonably well but struggled during the race with a spin after the restart that deprived him of a good result. In the preview of Red Bull he explains what he thinks it was all about.

Difficulty with balance

"In general, the weekend was a bit tough on my side. Qualifying wasn’t too bad but I struggled a bit with the balance and getting comfortable with the car which meant we couldn’t extract the full potential."

There was something positive about the weekend at Imola. "I enjoyed the two day weekend. I think that if we plan to do lots of races next year, then we should definitely consider doing more two-day race formats. Of course, free practice was busy but I enjoyed it and I think we should do this format more. We covered a lot of stuff on Saturday, it all went well and we did everything we needed to do in the short time frame, so it was all positive. One of the other benefits of a two day race weekend is that it would allow the mechanics to have an extra day at home!," Albon concludes.
