Christian Horner thinks the way Sergio Perez used his experience to establish himself at Red Bull in F1 shows it was 'unfair' to promote Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon so early on. Full story ⬇️
Christian Horner thinks how Sergio Perez used his experience to establish himself at Red Bull in Formula 1 shows it was"unfair" to promote Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon before.Former Red Bull junior Gasly was promoted from Toro Rosso to Red Bull in 2019 after just one full season with the Faenza squad.
Toro Rosso's Albon replaced Gasly, but the Thai driver had even less experience after just 12 grands prix for the B-team and equally struggled to gain a foothold, being replaced at the end of 2020. While the Mexican's three wins and one pole in two seasons pale in comparison to Verstappen, Red Bull has at least found a reliable pair of hands that has helped it bank points and finally dethroneBut the benefit of having the 33-year-old's experience in the team has also shown Horner that in hindsight it was probably too early to bring in Gasly and Albon into such a high-pressure environment.
"Checo with that experience, he's been through some of the hard knocks with his career to that point and I think what he's brought to us is he's a very rounded guy, he's a great team player.
