It shows how badly the Red Bull junior drivers program is managed. They don't really have anyone to replace Albon, it seems. They've already decided that Gasly will stay at Alpha Tauri and I don't see anybody really promising in the junior formulas. Helmut Marko is a world class moron.
I think Gasly is better off to stay at AT and get snatched up by a non RBR team. Being paired with Max seems to be a kiss of death. Gasly is clearly very talented, but even he went into meltdown mode trying to keep up with Max.
