Red Bull boss Christian Horner thinks Alex Albon would be matching Pierre Gasly if they were teammates at AlphaTauri this season.
Albon's poor form continued at the Portuguese Grand Prix, where he finished 12th while Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen claimed a podium. Gasly finished fifth, continuing the remarkable run of performances which included his shock win at the Italian Grand Prix in September.
Gasly's poor form last year paved the way for Albon to replace him at Red Bull, but the team has ruled out a reversal of that move. If Albon is replaced, Red Bull is likely to sign either Sergio Perez or Nico Hulkenberg.
