Alex Albon completed the move from Toro Rosso to Aston Martin Red Bull Racing midway through the season but the 23-year-old has said that he didn't feel the pressure despite knowing he would need instant results.
The youngster made the switch with Pierre Gasly after the Frenchman struggled to find the form for much of the early season.
"Honestly, it's a very strange feeling, because it didn't really hit me, but at the same time I realize I'm at Red Bull," Albon told Motorsport.com.
"It's like floating in my freshman year. I really feel like I'm not aware of anything."
"Which, I think, is a good thing. Because I don't feel the pressure. It's good, but I'm sure during the winter I'll reflect on that when I really have time for myself."
"I almost realize what really happened. Because, to be on the first team in its first year, I think the last one to have this opportunity must have been Lewis [at McLaren in 2007]. This is the last time this happened and that's almost 10 years ago. "
