- Alex Albon has returned to the Formula 1 grid and everybody has opinion on the matter. Some reckon he deserves it, some reckon he's had his chance. Whatever the opinion, is this the right move for all parties involved? Can Alex Albon make the most of this opportunity...or will he drown again?

#F1 #Formula1 #Albon
I'VE GOT MY ALBACK 🎉🎉🎉
We all have 😘 The Outsider at it again.
Hi Tommo keep up the good work and Albon will win the driver’s championship
I hope Alex will pull a 2019 and not a 2020 though...
You see my comment mate? Lol welcome back albon
IndyCar betta
Maybe you should to a follow up video on Alex at Williams and how's been impressive lately...
The song you used for this video is perfect. 🔥
Tsuki Yonoda. Love it.👍
Nuvolari reference for the win! Now there's a name not heard in a looong time.
That DC10 reference though 😂
Honestly I think nyck de vries deserves that seat more but I’m happy Alex is back
If there are things I have learned about the F1 community in my few years as a fan is that:
1. F1 fans judge people too early (As in the case of Stroll, Latifi, Gasly)
2. F1 fans forget too fast as in the case of (Checo's 9 years as an average driver and 1 impressive half year, Ricciardo's 2021 struggles, Vettel's 2020 struggles).
I have learned the importance of giving everyone a chance enough for them to build their career without filling your mouth with shit. And the importance of not making decisions based on emotions and recency bias, because then, you end up with an average driver in a front-running car.
Lets GO Alex!
To anyone who thought he left
He never left .....
He will do well. He will have more competition from Latifi who has been performing better now with his experience. I wish him luck
Seat should have gone to Piastri. F1 is brutal and doesn't have time to wait for Albon to develop and drive with the big boys, Piastri has Russell-like skill and will probs miss out on a seat he deserved over Albon
The Red Bull car is Max Verstappen. New drivers may struggle hard to find the pace, because they cant rebuild the car that easily. They have to find a compromise.
But its great to see Albon back at the sport again for a second time
I still wonder why Tommo hasn’t dropped a vid about him crying of happiness.
Literally the comment below you lmao
He was in a 24hour twitch stream during the announcement. He usually does a short livestream on youtube for big news but he was already live, he just did it there. You can find his reaction on twitter
i think tommo found out when he was live on his 24h stream. I hope he clips it and posts it to yt.
he is too busy crying still
Just like 10 minutes of him just crying hahahaha!
Willams are definitely on the rise hope the Asian Tom Cruise does well
"Asian Tom Cruise"...😹😹😹
I kinda wanted piastri or shwartzmann to get the seat but he fits
@@ace_skynoteyt7672 I think if Williams were out of their "redevelopment phase", much like McLaren right now, they might have risked taking on a rookie.
But Albon's significant work this year on stabilising the RB16's choppy handling for the RB16B is probably too good for them to not notice. Still, I wonder why Kvyat wasn't considered, in all fairness.
@@pirozcontractor6006 This man cannot tell a lie
He's Asian??
Tommo is somewhere happily crying tears of joy lol
@kai burke I love lando i was so happy for McLaren at monza
That somewhere is just above you lmao
@@squabbbb ?
@@graysonbyass-rascoe4326 your comment. It’s just below Tommo’s.
@@squabbbb Exactly. Nice one.
I can't get into who "deserves" something or not, in such a crazy competitive series. But that doesn't stop me from *wanting* him to return. He's just a likeable guy and I hope he pulls a Gasly, by showing the speed we all know he has after a disappointing RB stint.
I do as well, he seems like a genuinly nice guy and we saw what he could do in that Torro Rosso (back when it was called that), I just really want him to succeced
He's better than gasly.
I just want to see how he does when Hamilton doesn't rob him of a podium...again, and ruin all his confidence
@@oki83435 No he is not. At least he hasn't shown it so far
At the very least… someone who has experience developing a race winning car is great for Williams. Just like danniel riccardos experience for both Renault and mclaren
I think its impossible to know. 2022 cars are going to be so different it will suit drivers differently.
yeah, i can't wait for the shake up
i am actually rooting for williams to do much better. and well, i would like to see mclaren get ahead
Yeah I agree I think they went with Alex instead of a junior because 2022 is gonna be a big shake up and they would want someone who's driven an F1 car before
Yea, me neither. Pointless video.
Agreed. And maybe that is why Albon will be a good match for Williams because as a RB test/development driver he has more then averidge experience in setting up a race car. So he might be able to extract the best speed out of that new 2022 car in the shortest time possible.
That would boost the points score but also boost team motivation.
Succes breeds succes.
Also, he doesn't seem to have an inflated obnoxious ego and he seems to be an amical guy to work with. Which is great for team dynamics.
It will very interesting to see how things work out for Albon and Williams.
That "Tsuki Yonoda" was an ouch😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Noticed that!
Fuck! I went and searched google whether I was reading his name wrong all along 😂
I was like... who the fuck is Tsuki Yonoda??
basically 湯野田月
After this...
-Albon running an entire race on one set of tires
-Albon P9 in Miami
-Albon doing surprisingly well in a blue shitbox
YESSSSS
YESSS
Did Danny Ric leave some sort of cursed omen in his side of the garage when he left? Like "oh darn it, I meant to leave that tucked below Ma's seat..."
Hopefully now he's got another win at a different team, the curse is lifted
Yeah and it was called “The curse of Red Bull focussing all their powers into trying to make Verstappen the youngest drivers champion in F1 history”.
I really did wish Kvyat got his Red Bull seat back in 2019, his driving style would’ve fit better than Gasly or Albon since he’s an aggressive driver, and those red bulls were built for Max’s driving style
dont think albons problem was aggression. he was very aggressive in overtaking. his issue was shite qualifying and starts
@@mrsocko9077 you mean lack of experience?
That's why Kvyat was the perfect replacement. Let the Frenchy and Tom Cruise fight at TR for that RB seat, and put the more experience driver next to max, and sack him following year (because as much as i like kvyat, RB is always ready to let go of him)
@@sureyeah3678 the problem is he was already a red bull driver and they fired him and i doubt they would re-sign a fired person
@@LegendaryFusions If Redbull is smart enough, they would rather do that than promoting a half-season rookie to replace a once-proven one season rookie
@@sureyeah3678 they are smart enough its helmut and horners ego that would never let them do that, why do you think gasley is still at TR
I'm from the future and here to say he's delivering massively.
What his season will depend on will be his confidence, as we know the talent is there. Imo losing that win in Austria 2020 really ruined his RB career
A sir lewis special :)))))
Didn’t he get punted like 3 times by the end of it all? Brazil, Austria and… another I’m forgetting?
@@Aefweard those two only, then he started punting people or lost the car on his own
Lewis distroyed his confidence. That wasn't fair.
Albon did well on 2019. If he had the confidence on 2020, things would have ended different lol
@@HibiTeamQueso no hate for albon, I like him a lot and I’m extremely happy to see him back in this sport, he deserves it….but tbh, if a collision was gonna ruin his confidence, he doesn’t have a strong mentality for this sport, cause these things keep happening in this sport. Every driver has his ups and downs, if a collision was gonna ruin his confidence, then what are the chances of that not happening again. Imagine if all these guys like seb, Lewis, max or George had stopped performing after having their big hits in their careers
Here after he got p10 in Australia
and miami
The last three years have proven that that red bull car clearly isn't easy to drive. While Gasly and Albon didnt do well enough they definitely haven't benefited from a car as good as Sergio this year
Almost ironically, Albon was the one who mainly helped in developing the RB16B in his first duty as Test driver...
@@pirozcontractor6006 that is why williams need him. If he can develop the williams car he could be more valuable than any other talent. Cause talent won't matter if the cars limits are super low
@@Screwy23 a good test and development driver would be very beneficial for a team like williams what's more important is to have the kind of engineers that can take the input from the drivers and make use of it to improve the car .
They tied. They only want to spend half the money. And also why Daniel leave..they just don't want to pay.
Well, Sergio also struggles a bit but he will get used to it
Imagine if Williams leapfrog Mercedes and red bull and fight haas for the championship
i would go outside and lick the road if that happens

Make a video on why Williams steering wheel is different compared to other 9 teams on the grid.
I've read somewhere that the engineer want to make the steering wheel as light as possible
@@sarinet5651 huh?
It’s cheaper that way. Literally that is it
@@untitledperson1776 It's a spam bot. Ignore it and report it.
@@Angrynood ah ok, but still, huh?
Imagine albon ends up in the merc seat after Lewis retires & it’s Russell/Albon
Don't give me false hopes 🤣😂 fuck that would be something fucking amazing 😉
Thats the plan
Considering how he was treated at Red Bull, I hope he does well for Williams standards, he’s finally in a team that doesn’t focus on just one driver.
Tbf he should have never gotten the seat over gasly in first place who was better driver and was given less time.
Why was he treated badly by RB? edit how?
is Perez also treated badly? - Verstappen is just too quick and Albon was just no experienced enough.
And even when RB dropped him from F1, they gave him a seat in DTM and he was their test and reserve driver
Gasly was shit at Red Bull and he was demoted pretty quickly cuz of his attitude and results
@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI Your argument just shows that he was not treated badly?
they gave him his chances and helped him get a seat somewhere else.
DTM is car racing and F1 F2 is Formula racing, quiet some gymnastic you do to compare it.
Perez also needs make way then?
@@james-if8yi Except he outperformed Gasly lmao. He had no preseason testing or private testing in the Red Bull, and he still did better on his debut.
Cmon man, use your brain.
I honestly feel like any driver who takes a stint in the #2 seat at RBR deserves a second chance at another team. That group just doesn't seem to want to focus on two drivers, it's like the only reason they have a second car is because it's required. I think with the lower pressure levels at Williams we might see what he's really capable of. If it doesn't work out, there's always a trip back to DTM where he's making a pretty good case for himself.
I think Redbull are desperate for a title and know that Max is the guy who's gonna give them one. So they are putting everything for that one title. If Max wins this year, they'll feel a burden getting off their shoulders and then maybe, they'll focus on giving equal resources to both drivers.
If I was RB I would have put Albon and Gasly for 2 (maybe 3) years in Alpha Tauri and let them fight for the #2 RB seat. By that time Perez is older and the 2 of them can fight over who is beter.
@@Markuden At that point this means you lost several promising academy drivers though who could potentially be as good or better as either of them.
@@florac1995 you need a second driver next to Max, thats your nr1 priority. If you have sone real big talent maybe put them at williams or whatever. If albon and gasly fight it out for 2 years there will br no doubt that maybe one would do beter blabla. You cant just throw talents to the meatgrinder called Max Verstappen.
imo, its easy for outsiders like us to just say that RB doesn't want to focus on 2 drivers. But logically speaking, they need both drivers to perform to win the WCC(and the WCC has prize money behind it, not the WDC). If anything, it just seem like the RB car is very hard to drive. Max's comments from last year saying that RB-16 is hard to drive seem to support that. I think RB definitely realises that the car is a huge obstacle for their second drivers who aren't racing monsters like Max, which is why Albon got a second chance outside of the main RB team much like Gasly did, it would also explain their choice of Perez. Having a senior driver who has a lot of experience to get the most out of a difficult car so that they can at least secure some points and not have 0 point finishes from the second car.
It is going to be hard to wait for the reveal of the new car. Would be absolutely hilarious if Williams uses the classic steering wheel in their new car.
i'm sure Albon will improve over time, he just needs enough of it and the fact that he's with williams will give him the chance to do that
Just here to say, first 3 races and he's doing brilliant with the hand he's delt
First 4 now, he’s shaping up so good
Albon just won a point in Australia. It's just the start for sure
That DC-10 joke totally came out of nowhere and really surprised me. Never expected an F1 channel to use that joke, which actually is quite common among aviation enthusiasts.
The DC-10 joke wasn't expected but as an aviation enthusiast so I am not complaining
As an aviation enthusiast I was quite happy to hear the joke. Honestly, I don't understand why the DC-10 was so popular, what with it chucking engine parts all over the Midwest
@@slinky_malinki5330 it was cheap to buy and cheap to run, that's why airlines bought them, plus they had some alright performance. I've once read a phrase that I think would better explain it:
The Airbus A300 was what airlines needed (it was a efficient widebody).
The Lockheed L-1011 was what airlines wanted (a advanced and capable _but expensive_ plane).
And the DC-10 was what they where willing to pay.
"what if Williams gets it all right and Albon wins the title next year" What Tommo special strain weed you smokin man

Can someone explain that Suprr GT and Albon theory? xD
@@jansonb482 they are the same person. It’s not a theory
@@jansonb482 They have the same voice.
De Vries won F2 and Formula E and never looked like getting a drive
"Deserved" means nothing these days lmao
Well said.
De Vries is probably the weakest F2 champion in a long time. The year Alex was 3rd De Vries was 4th so idk how you can say he deserves it more
All F2 champions should get atleast one season in F1 imo, if they don't do well then you can just get rid of them at the end of the year 🤷♂️
@@tusharacharya1416 while I like this idea I'm not entirely sure where they'd put them
If Albon also got 3rd year in f2 he would own De Vries...
To your question as to why Kvyat wasn't promoted to Red Bull in 2019? Two words: Kelly Piquet.
came to say he subverted all our expectations today😂😂😂
Of course Tommo was here
The president of the fanclub has to be here.
SuperGTs career is just amazing!
Indeed it is. With the added inclusion of the shadow realm
Does anyone think the reason why three drivers have struggled in those cars is because they were built around Max? Perez said this season that he has to use Max's setups and when he decided to back to his setup he struggled to drive the car. A driver should not have to use his teammate's setup to be comfortable in a car. Drivers also do not have the same driving style.
They race them too hard ..... sorry couldnt resist ...
As with Danny Ric at Renault they probably need more time to adjust.
The Merc is probably on rails in comparison
They should put Gasly back . He has earned best of the rest., but I assume there are politics and personality clashes in the way.
@@4ntoCatchno problem... When you say " they" race them too hard, you're referring to the red bull team?
Cars are not built for one driver, why do people think that??
@@chumchim8074 Yeah I know but I just find it strange that they put three great drivers in that car and they all struggled. But maybe it has to so with the fact that Max has been with the team since 2016. I don't know what's the reason but I find it to be very strange.
@@silverghost289 Max is just a mega talent, thats what I would guess but idk
you know he's a sicklad when he walks into williams with an alphatauri shirt
in my opinion i feel that Albon is too soft/kind for F1 "they race me so hard" is going to stick with him for so long till he proves himself
He was trying to avoid getting into an accident with the sister team car. It may have been a poor choice of words but that's the context of that radio message.
I'm pleased to see him back, and I hope he does well. That was an insane amount of pressure he was under; look at the history of *that* seat compared to the relatively low-pressure environments that Russell and Norris were in, being given time to mature and develop as drivers. Albon was expected to be well into the points every race, and the public discussions were pretty brutal.
yaah another armchair fan sitting in new zealand knows how albon will perform before the start of the 2022 season.at least give the team to build their car and the driver to come up and take up in the pre season test then you can make such reactionary videos.....
In your review of albons 2020 season, you forgot to mention Mugello. Honestly I dont know how you did that innocently, so you specifically didnt mention his best race in F1.
Why?
What's the name of the song playing in the background ?
Edit- It's "Ghosts by A L E X"
"Like a DC10 in the 70s."
That killed me dude. 🤣
(and no I'm not going to go for the obvious joke)
big respect to redbull for actually fighting for albono to get back in the sport
He’ll be fine. And hey, he’s reunited with his old DAMS teammate so that’ll be pretty cool 🙂
Albion was an on again off again driver. His lack of consistency makes his choice surprising. Equally Williams is an unknown commodity. There is no guarantee they will be better than Haas or Alfa next year. S one body must have put a fat wad of money in Williams pocket to secure this drive. I’m not expecting much and if I were choosing Williams next Formula 1 driver, Albion would not have made the top half dozen.
Watching in 23 and honestly Albon is just a slay pure slay
Why didn’t they move Kvyat back up and allow Albon to continue to develop? Because Marko doesn’t like seeing Kvyat be happy.
I would have loved to have seen him at Alfa Tauri alongside Gasly.
His career was destroyed by Hamilton hitting him twice at the rearwheel.
Albon, Russell, and Norris showing up in 2022:
🎶🎵 *_boys are back in town! boys are back in town!_* 🎶🎵
Na, get rid of him completely, he had his chance, he f**ked it up, leave it for the drivers coming up from the junior series. Sorry Albon
It would be sods law for George Russell if Williams ended up having the best car on the grid next year ;D.. I'm glad Albon is getting another shot at F1, I honestly believe had Red Bull retained him he would be doing better this year, then again I guess that can't be proven.. But I hope Williams is at least a semi decent car in 2022.
Nothing wrong with dreaming, but Williams will not be better than Mercedes in 2022.
@@davidbrown8517 I know, Wasn't being completely serious ;)..Maybe a little :P
When they got that max verstappen stint they think that every driver will bloom as soon as they put them in a RedBull. Same thing happened with gasly and albon.
He got a point in Australia with final lap soft tyre pitstop
Williams made a huge mistake choosing albon over lord Mahaveer Raghunathan
Indeed
You have to apologize to latifi, he has to power to decide on who wins the championship 🤣
He’ll do better in Williams than him being in Red Bull.
It's not that Albon is straight up undeserving of the seat but I simply can't help but think that this is an extremely underwhelming driver lineup for a Williams team that is supposed to be on the up. They are losing their number 1 driver, a guy some think is a generational talent, and replace him with guy number 5 in the RB pecking order. That doesn't mean Albon will be bad, but on a grid where there seems to be less space for top talents than ever before it feels like they could have gotten someone better, like a Bottas or a Piastri out of F2.
The king latifi earrape will never get old
Tbh anyone teaming up with Max at Redbull is up for a big challenge and having everyone comparing you to a prodigy is quite nerve wracking
I think people should remember that he deserves a second chance equally as much as Gasly
I am happy Albon is getting a second chance elsewhere, Red Bull Racing isn't a team you should be working for because of having such disgusting insecure leaders like Horner Spice and that arrogant toxic 'Austrian-version-of-Andrea-Sasseti' Helmut Marko whom the latter ends promising drivers' careers before they got started. Honestly, those two prima donnas are also bigots who sympathise with those who make such abusive comments on British drivers and those who are different from the rest. RBR needs to be bought by Lawrence Stroll and have Horner and Marko fired from their jobs and put Nick Fry and Franz Tost as Team Principal and Driver Advisor instead, I have better respect for Tost than I have with Marko.
if it's true that he helped make the red bull car how it is then I would love to see Albono and Latifi grow to make Williams a competitor again with the 2022 car. But it's going to be tough for small teams.
Liam lawson was a dtm full time driver but albon has is duties as a reserve driver in redbull so he directly lands there in the heave of practice sections.
whatever said, i'm happy he's back in formula 1

I think Albon-Latifi will have a dynamic similar to Carlando. Altifi, anyone ?
Latibon
damn I would've loved to see Alex dominate indycar and get Ws. this will do I guess
To really justify his comeback, he really needs to beat Liam Lawson in DTM, or even winning.
He's currently p6, some 70s points off of the championship leader - Liam.
Not a really good look.
I actually disagree that he's deserving of another shot in F1. With so many good drivers coming through the ranks in F2 its honestly really annoying that a driver who's had his chance and failed is getting another crack at it while we have good young drivers like Piastri that may not even get a shot at F1 in the near future because of it.
albon didn’t fail, he just wasn’t given a chance to succeed
Albon is the driver williams need. You can't argue that piastri is better than albon. You can't even be garunteed an F2 champion will do well in F1. Glockenspiel was an F2 champion.
So, looking at your logic Perez failed too
But he is F1 too
Whats with Yuki, he is also failing even before making the step to Red Bull! Albon did better in a worse Toro Rosso. As good as an experienced Kvyat.
Albon finished 3rd in F2, close to Lando despite having a lot of bad luck. His pace in qualifying was the best in 2018 F2, better than george (until he turned full demon mode after summerbreak)
Yeah there are quite a lot of talented rookies, but they are not as experienced as Albon. Albon knows how to give feedback, Albon knows how to drive and understand a car and Albon is a nice guy, signing a rookie is a risk and Williams do not want it. So Albon is the best choice imo, best mix of youth and experience
I would have preferred to see Williams signing Oscar Piastri.
He will probably win F2 as a Rookie, directly the year after he won F3 as a rookie. But he will probably end up without a seat in F1. :(
With Piastri they would have had the chance to get a "new Russel".
With Albon they are basicly settling with a mediocre driver, with no chance of getting a "new Russel".
He was good in a team like alphatauri, so nicky will still have a great driver to learn from and alex will do very good

i def hope that he will be like pierre and excel when not under pressure
I think It was a mistake of Red Bull to not sign him for Alpha Tauri
They should have sent Tsunoda back to F2 for 2022 ...
That way , the Williams seat would be open for either De Vries or Piastri ...
Albon is more then deserving of a F1 seat!!!
I don't think Albons pace in the Red Bull 2020 was nearly as terrible as it looks at first sight. I think the point is, that the Red Bull wasn't that great of a car but Verstappen being incredibly good. I think the McLaren, the Racing Point and the Red Bull were really close in performance (maybe a slight Red Bull advantage but definitly not on the Mercedes level).
I just remembered in 2018 Albon and latfi were teams mates in f2
They hauled Dams to third in the 2018 championship as well...
Just had a mental image of Piers Morgan drowning. Not really got anything to say beyond that, just wanted to share that image.
I may be biased but I think he will easily win the drivers championship AND constructors championship for Williams. The car will not be even good, he will just carry and carry that team on his shoulders, will not be even funny, aftet gis 15th grand chelem IN A ROW it will be just painfully boring to watch. He will be so far ahead in the races that he will be ablw to stop in every race and comeback like 5 laps ahead of everyone on the field and just because he can, coz the fastest lap is already his, so he'll do it just to aasert dominance as the giga mega hiper chad alpha signa male that he is, but what can he do when he walks around carrying those massive balls of pure manlinesa steel?
Already true
Guys, we can't judge Albon....yet. Like Gasly is absolutely killing it at alphatauri and so we should give him a chance before we burn him at the stake.
Alex Albon is bloody wonderful. Tommo loves Ablon.
Need to cut all these 2018 GP2 also rans.
Williams will have a mediocre driver lineup for 2022 if they go with what they’ve got. Don’t see either Latifi or Albon lasting too long.
While this is a feel good story, williams now probably has the weakest driver lineup for 2022 besides Haas. Albon back in f1 is good for him, but considering the huge backlog of talent in f2, nyck de vries, all of the redbull juniors, etc., it just feels like this wasn't the right move. He just didnt have the ceiling of other drivers imo
Albon is clear of De Vries...
@@jamescleanair5471 Exactly.
De Vries finished behind Albon. Twice. In two separate series, F2 and F3.
And yet people think De Vries is so much better than Albon. WTF?
Albon would have had two P1's....
Alex had consistent top 6 finishes in his rookie year in Red Bull, where the Ferrari’s were very competitive. From the back of the grid to P5 on his Red Bull debut in Spa? Albon is a very talented driver. Nyck de Vries was beaten multiple times by Albon. The Red Bull juniors do not have F1 experience. Albon has been developing next years car, so he can give a lot of input into development of the car. How was this a bad choice?
I don't get why Alpha Tauri then just go for Albon instead of Tsunoda. I admire Yuki's talent, but I'd rather have Alex.
I feel like once he gets his confidence back (which I think Williams will) then he will be a great driver. He needs to learn and develop. Red Bull feels like a toxic environment at times.
Great Video sir, really enjoy your content. Let me add, however, that your little animated figure scenes in the middle add just about nothing useful to the content and are in my opinion not even enjoyable.
Josh you’re not slick sneaking in Ticktum when talking about promising drivers in F2 🤣
Dan wasn't slick either
What about King Delledda
I'd laugh so hard if the former RB#2 drivers both go on to be championship contenders in the new rules. Would really cut off the "the car is fine, they're just garbage" takes I see some fans with.
I hope albon does well , its great seeing so many good british drivers in formula 1 and adding him would make it even better
Didnt he race under a thai flag or did he change it?
Ok i might be biased being a red bull and Alex fan. But he never really got his chance in formula 1 in his first season he was sent halfway through to a top team in a high-pressure situation with little experience and did decently ( and should have had a podium if not for some sir “knock a red bull off-track per season” Hamilton which hurt him and his confidence) then we go to 2020 and he could have won the first race but here comes Hamilton again ruining albons career. I wish red bull gave him more time to get experience because 2020 could have gone differently and with more experience and confidence the 2 Hamilton-related incidents would not have had as much of an impact on him and who knows where he would be now. So in all i hope albon does well and his season goes well to prove the haters wrong!
I really feel that if he were in this years RB, he would have had the same or better then Checo. I really feel it was the rear end of last years chassis that was garbage and would snap on him.
It's not like Checo is setting the grid on fire. Other than Baku, he's been kind of shit.
1:09 hol' up, didn't Redbull say there were no outside shots of that crash? hmm....................
I really do hope he does well. Definitely deserves the second chance!
second second chance
