    Fair play I reckon, he almost lost the place to Bortoleto, I don’t think many will remember his excellent work holding him back for p18 or whatever it was… Clearly doesn’t see much future at alpine

    Thoughts on where he will end up? I reckon back at Williams under Sainz after Albon shifts somewhere else

      But where would Albon go? McLaren, Merc, and Ferrari are full. I don’t think he’d want to go back to RBR which also rules out RB. Going to Alpine or Haas is a step down. I don’t think he’s interested in Cadillac which means the only available choice is AM and unless Stroll finally gets the boot there’s no place in AM either. Williams is happy with Albon and I think Albon is happy with Williams. Also Williams could’ve had Colapinto if they wanted to and they chose not to.

      The most likely trajectory for Colapinto is out of F1 with maybe some hope of getting back with Cadillac (if Perez or Bottas underperforms).

    Why was he given team orders anyway? If anyone, Gasly should’ve gotten team orders cause Colapinto was on much fresher tyres (not that it matters for a P18 or whatever)
