As of now, Max Verstappen is an indisputable figure at Red Bull, and Vettel on the current form can never replace him, whereas, Alex Albon has been delivering whatever he has been asked so far.
Moreover, the young driver joined the team during the middle of last season and hasn’t even got enough time to settle in the setup. Hence, if it comes to replacing Albon with Vettel, then the move would be unfair and dull-witted considering the age of two drivers and the potential of Albon.
Where will Vettel go?
Vettel hasn’t spoken much about his future, he recently spoke about his departure for the first during his press conference on Thursday. But there have been many speculations so far.
Mercedes have been the constantly linked up with Vettel since the day one. Whereas, a vacant spot in Renault for 2021 as of now makes him a strong candidate to take that berth.
On the other hand, many close associates to Vettel have been speculating that Vettel will probably take a sabbatical from Formula 1, as barring Mercedes, there is no other team who can meet his demands.
