Aston Martin Red Bull Racing confirmed today that 23-year-old Thai driver Alex Albon will continue to race with the team in the 2020 Formula One World Championship season alongside Max Verstappen.

After making his Formula One debut with sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso at this year’s Australian Grand Prix, Alex’s performances in the first part of the season earned him a call-up from Red Bull Racing to partner Max Verstappen in the 13th round at Spa-Francorchamps.

Since making his debut with Red Bull Racing, Albon scored 68 points and finished in the top six in every race he has contested. He is currently sixth in the Drivers’ standings.

Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner said: “Alex has performed extremely well since his debut with the Team in Belgium and his results – seven finishes in the top-six – speak for themselves. It’s extremely hard to deny that level of consistency and in tandem with a growing reputation as a tenacious, fiercely committed racer, Alex has proved that he fully deserves to continue his progress with Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. There is plenty of potential still to unlock and we look forward to seeing Alex alongside Max in 2020.”

Alex Albon added: “I am really excited to be partnering Max again for next year and I know how fortunate I am to be given this opportunity. I’m hugely thankful that Red Bull have put their trust in me and believed in my results since I joined the Team and for them to keep me in the car next year is a big deal. This year has been an incredible year for me and getting the call up to Red Bull mid-season was already a big step, so now I will use the learnings from this season and use the experience to improve and fight at the front in 2020.”
