Kvyat: Albon's Red Bull debut not that impressive
MONZA, Italy -- Daniil Kvyat has brushed off suggestions former teammate Alexander Albon made a good start to his Red Bull career at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner praised Albon for his fighting display at Spa-Francorchamps, which saw the Thai driver fight from 18th to fifth in a performance which included impressive overtaking moves on Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez. Albon had been promoted during the summer break, with Pierre Gasly going the other way to Toro Rosso.
However, not everyone was impressed -- Kvyat, who returned to F1 with Toro Rosso this year, was quick to point out that Albon spent much of the race stuck behind his car.
