F1 | Red Bull, fourth position for Albon at Suzuka

Alex Albon took fourth position in the Japanese Grand Prix. The Thai driver was the only one to take home points for Red Bull after Verstappen's retirement. The start wasn't the best, as the two McLarens got the better of the #23, who then with some push and determination managed to get back to the foot of the podium, but more than 40 seconds away.

“It's the best result of my Formula 1 career, and this weekend was certainly the most productive as a team – Albon said. I immediately felt comfortable from FP1, which is important at tracks like Suzuka, where you need to have confidence, especially when you're making your debut. I could have done more in the race, I could have started better, but I lost a couple of positions against the McLarens. I managed to overtake them, but by then the leading group had already left. Lando left the door open for me, even though it was perhaps a little narrow. We managed to pass Carlos with a good strategy, but from that moment on, fourth place was the maximum achievable. I managed the tires until the end, and with Max out it was nice to give the team some points. Overall I'm happy with my pace and the progress made this weekend. We wanted more, especially for Honda, but we couldn't compete with the others. We hope to return stronger in Mexico."
