Meanwhile, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says Formula E champion de Vries - who also won the Formula 2 championship in 2019 for Alfa Romeo team principal Fred Vasseur’s ART Grand Prix - could end up on the grid but that Albon’s future needs sorting to allow him to know which options are open. Hopefully that can get resolved over the next few days.” Williams and Alfa Romeo have both expressed interest and we’re keen to see him back racing in Formula 1. I’m sure it will get resolved over the next week or so. He’s a talented driver and, subject to George moving, and now Kimi is retiring, that does open up opportunities. I hope that nothing prevents him from realizing one of those opportunities. “We’ll do whatever we can to try and enable that. “I think Alex deserves a seat in Formula 1 and I think there’s quite a bit of interest in him for next year,” Horner said. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has now confirmed that news, stating he expects Albon’s future to be finalized in the near future. Albon’s name came to the fore as an option for Williams last week and a deal was understood to be close, but on Friday in Zandvoort a source told RACER that Alfa Romeo could also be a destination for the Red Bull reserve. George Russell’s expected move to Mercedes comes with Valtteri Bottas set to join Alfa Romeo, replacing the retiring Kimi Raikkonen. Former Red Bull Racing driver Alex Albon is attracting interest from Alfa Romeo Racing for 2022, a development that leaves newly crowned Formula E champion Nyck de Vries (pictured above) waiting to see if he’ll get an F1 chance.
