Alexander Albon will be the second Toro Rosso driver in 2019, alongside Russia’s Daniil Kvyat. The 22-year-old Anglo-Thai driver, who is currently second in the Formula 2 Championship, behind George Russell, who will race for Williams in 2019, but ahead of Lando Norris, mclaren’s new signing for next season.
Albon wasdue to race for Nissan in Formula E but the opportunity of an F1 seat meant that the Japanese firm ultimately did not want to stand in his way and agreed, somewhat reluctantly, to cancel the arrangement. Nissan has now picked Oliver Rowland to replace Albon, as team-mate to Sébastien Buemi in Formula E, although part of Albon’s attraction for Nissan was his Anglo-Asian nationality and there had been plans for a major international promotional programme around Albon in Formula E.
