Alex Albon's sponsorships from Thailand could be a key route into Red Bull next ♛year, it has 🏅been suggested.

Albon is contracted to Will💙iams until the end of 2025, team principal James Vowles recently i🌳nsisted to warn off any interested parties.

Red Bull might have a free seat if Sergio Perez, or more shockingly Max Verstappen, le💮ave while Mercedes must dec🦋ide how to replace Lewis Hamilton.

The talente🍸d Albon would be a frontrunner any of the top teams.

L'Equip🐼e's Fred Ferret said on the podcast before the Australian Grand Prix: "Are we going craz🌳y?

"Remembe🐻r at Red Bull, the big boss is Thai. Albon is driving for Thai༺land.

"It wouldn't be stupid to have a Thai driver alongside Verstappen, or whoever will be🌠 driving [for Re🌺d Bull] in 2025."

Chalerm Yoovidhya is the 51% shareholder at Red Bull from Thailand who recently offered public support to team pr💜incipal Christian Horner.

ꦅBut despite the clear link, Albon has been reminded that his current team are going places.

"You have to be patient," Ferret said a♔bout Albon.

"You know that Williams is rebuilding itself.

"Since James Vowles' arrival, his speech has ཧsaid that thℱey need to rebuild everything.

"They are an old, hist🐻oric team but they need to rethink evꦯerything.

"He already said last year that maybe this year they would go back because they need to work on everything, like t✃heir steering wheel.

"They had problems with their pitstops. Ok🦂ay, but they are re-learning 💜everything.

"I think, at the end of the year, they will be a much more competitive te🎉am 🀅than they were five years ago with Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas.

"In two years, Vowles will have made the job.

"If [Albon] has to go t♌o Red Bull? He has to go. But if not? He should stay because he is the coꦡre of the project."
