Schumacher doesn't understand Red Bull: 'Why is he still there?'

With the retirement of Max Verstappen, all hopes for a good result lay with Alexander Albon last Sunday, but that didn't end well either. At the restart, Albon ended up in a spin and lost so many places that he had no chance of a place in the top ten. This was the latest in a run of mistakes for Albon, a run that is sure to lead to him leaving Red Bull at the end of the season.
It goes wrong again
Former F1-driver Ralf Schumacher is regularly heard from and so this time again. This time to Sky Sports where the German wonders out loud what Albon is still doing at Red Bull Racing, because 'he is the biggest problem within the team'. Schumacher also sees a trend, because not only did Albon 'fail' at Red Bull Racing, the same was true for Pierre Gasly. By the way, he is now doing an excellent job at AlphaTauri.
Schumacher argues that 'Red Bull should ask itself why this is happening for a second time' with a driver. After all, Max Verstappen has been without a really good teammate to push and help him since the start of the season in 2019, and as long as Verstappen doesn't have one, he has to pull the team on his own.
