Sergio Perez may never have been hired by Red Bull if Alex Albon hadn't had his confidence "hurt massively" by collisions with Lewis Hamilton.
Albon spent 18 months racing for Red Bull. He had been called up from the Toro Rosso sister team mid-way through the 2019 season, swapping places with Pierre Gasly who was drowning under the pressure.
The British-Thai racer got much more time to impress compared to his French counterpart. But he too struggled to make much of an impression as team-mate to Max Verstappen.
