So they finally did it: https://redbullracing.redbull.com/article/alex-joins-team
Redbull have been in a rough spot after they let Ricciardo get away, it's now obvious to everyone that Redbull didn't have a quality driver to replace him until this year.
I hope they give Albon time, he doesn't need to beat Max just be somewhere in the same ballpark. With a championship as close as this Redbull need every point and Pierre just wasn't getting it done - he was between 0.5 - 1s per lap slower than Max in both the race and qualifying.
