🚨 Red Bull to bring Formula 1 driver Alexander Albon and a New Zealander into the DTM 🚨
Formula 1 driver Alex Albon Ansusinha and young talent Liam Lawson will be racing in the DTM with backing from Red Bull. 24-year-old Albon, seventh in the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship as Max Verstappen’s teammate, will be participating in selected DTM races whenever his Formula 1 duties as a test, replacement and simulator driver allow. The driver Albon will be alternating with will be announced at a later stage, just like the team and the sports car brand. In the second Red Bull cockpit,18-year-old New Zealander Liam Lawson will be driving, meaning that a talent from the ranks of the Red Bull Junior Team will be racing in the DTM that will be held with powerful GT sports cars for the first time in the new season.
A high-class field with drivers from Formula 1, DTM and GTs
“The DTM with a high-class field and GT3 sports cars is an interesting platform and a real challenge, both for successful race drivers like Alex Albon as for our Red Bull junior driver Liam Lawson,” says Dr. Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s motorsport consultant.
“Formula 1 drivers like Alex Albon, DTM stars like three-time champion René Rast, GT professionals and young talents like Liam Lawson - that is a high-class driver mix the way I would like it for the 2021 DTM season. It is also a perfect fit that ex-Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button has already submitted an entry for the DTM with his team,” says Gerhard Berger, an ex-Formula 1 and DTM driver himself. “Alex Albon is a young, ambitious driver and an outstanding gain for the DTM.” Just at the end of last year, Berger had defined his personal goal for the 2021 DTM in an interview with the DTM.com web portal: “My big goal is 20 cars with at least five brands, strong drivers and a battle for the title that goes down to the wire, the final race.” The DTM participation of Alex Albon is yet another important step in this direction.
