'Hurt' Albon targets 2022 return to the grid
Alexander Albon said he was dejected after being replaced by Mexican Sergio Perez at the Red Bull Formula One team for next season but is determined to get a race seat in 2022.
Perez, a winner for Racing Point in Bahrain this season, will slot in alongside Max Verstappen next season after Albon was demoted to the role of test and reserve driver.
Albon, who started out at Red Bull's sister team AlphaTauri (previously Toro Rosso) before being promoted in 2019, finished seventh in the standings, level with McLaren's Carlos Sainz who will race for Ferrari next year.
