I believe they have now asked Albon twice since he left saying no both times due to Max, and he hasn’t been part of their stable since 22. I think this is the smart move for him as he knows being in Red Bull against Max is just not good for his mental health. I can see Albon back at Red Bull if Max leaves, which at the start of the season was a remote possibility.

Danny left the Red Bull stable when he left RB this year, he could have stayed as an ambassador but chose not to, so I am extremely doubtful he will ever come back to Red Bull F1.

I agree about any rookies, unless they are a generational talent then its just too risky, and counter productive, and if they are, then expect massive fireworks like McLaren 07.

They have had both Fernando and Lewis ask about seats, with Fernando having similar discussions to Albon start of this season. Carlos they turned down, despite discussions, that has to be similar to why they got rid of Carlos in the first place.
