Rumor has it that Alex Albon was offered a multi-year deal.

It is said that Alex Albon has received an offer to drive for Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen for a number of years, starting in the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Red Bull has become a significant force in the upcoming silly season, just one day after it was announced that seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton would be leaving Mercedes after 12 seasons to join Ferrari in 2025.

Peter Windsor estimates that Alex Albon has a “90%” probability of accepting Red Bull’s offer of a three-year contract, beginning in 2025.

Albon left Red Bull at the conclusion of 2020, and he will compete in his third season with Williams this year. He took a year off from the sport in 2021.

Windsor has a “close connection” with Williams, per RBR Daily.

Red Bull will sign Alex Albon in 2025?
After a dismal 2020 season, Albon—who Red Bull summoned up from sister team Toro Rosso to replace Pierre Gasly as a rookie during the 2019 season—was replaced by Sergio Perez alongside Max Verstappen. He is about to take over for the driver that succeeded him, and he will do so on the same squad.

Thanks to his individual point total last year, the 27-year-old Thai-British driver had a career comeback at Williams, helping the team to their highest result in the constructor standings since 2017.

Regarding Perez, rumors have long held that his deal would expire before the

2024 season following his difficult final stretch in 2023.

Perez was winless while Verstappen won 17 of the last 18 races, including the final seven and 10 consecutive races at one point in the season. Perez and Verstappen had split the first four races of the competition.

Despite finishing second in the final standings, Perez only scored three runner-up results during that period, and his deficit behind Verstappen was greater than his total points from the 22-race season.

After Hamilton’s departure, Albon’s replacement would rule him out as a contender for Mercedes, and it would also rule out Daniel Ricciardo, the driver of the Visa Cash App RB, from making the Red Bull comeback that he, too, had been hoping for.
