    The other thing to bear in mind is that Gasly and Albon did not get the same level of preparation for the senior seat as Verstapenn did. Verstapenn got two full seasons 2014 and 2015 and half of 2016 before moving from Torro Rosso to Redbull. He was better prepared for senior team duties then anyone else after him from Torro Rosso/ Alpha Tauri.

    Gasly got a half season 2017 and a full season 2018 at Torro Rosso before promotion to Redbull in 2019 where he spent half a season before being demoted back to Torro Rosso.

    Albon barely settled into his surprise offer to join Torro Rosso, only half way through his rookie season he was promoted to the senior team to replace Gasly.

    Both of these guys did not get a normal nuturing to prepare them for senior team duties. It was not surprising that they both found it difficult at some point.
