According to Japanese sources, Red Bull’s majority stakeholder, Chalerm Yoovidhya, wants his fellow countryman Alex Albon to return to the team should Max Verstappen leave in the future. Yoovidhya had reportedly already inquired about Albon for next year, before Verstappen announced that he would not be leaving the team.
