Formula 1 driver Alexander Albon and young talent Liam Lawson will be racing in the DTM with backing from Red Bull. 24-year-old Albon, seventh in the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship as Max Verstappen’s teammate, will be participating in selected DTM races whenever his Formula 1 duties as a test, replacement and simulator driver allow. The driver Albon will be alternating with will be announced at a later stage, just like the team and the sports car brand. In the second Red Bull cockpit,18-year-old New Zealander Liam Lawson will be driving, meaning that a talent from the ranks of the Red Bull Junior Team will be racing in the DTM that will be held with powerful GT sports cars for the first time in the new season.

Well good. He seemed like a really decent guy, glad he found a spot where he could race after the Red Bull fiasco.

Albon is still being looked after by Red Bull, he could earn back his F1 seat. Though I think he's more likely to go back as a reserve at Toro Rosso should another driver be forced to leave early.

Would never have happened with Frank near the team. Hope they've got him on a water-tight contract.

Cue headline : "Honda return to F1 with Williams!" (followed by 'Williams tell Honda they are happy with Merc engines')

Apparently Toto has said it's pretty much done.

But then they also said that Kilimanjaro is in the Serengeti

Not that I am against him, but it would be a breathe of fresh air not having Hamilton on the grid for the 2021 season - I mean, it should certainly increase interest among F1 fans.

Losing its biggest star would not sit well with F1.
