It was written in the stars, or rather the rumourmill, and today, Renault F1 has confirmed that Fernando Alonso will return to the team with which he won his two F1 World Championships with.

And here is the counterpart excerpt on Red Bull, on Krating Daeng's page:
The Thai product is a different company from the global brand Red Bull as formulated by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur.[6] Mateschitz was the international marketing director for Blendax, a German toothpaste company, when he visited Thailand in 1982 and discovered that Krating Daeng helped to cure his jet lag.[7] He worked in partnership with Chaleo's T.C. Pharmaceuticals to adapt the formula and composition to Western tastes.[8] Red Bull was launched in 1987. The two companies are often mistaken for each other, but they are separate entities focusing on different target markets running in conjunction with one another. Today, Red Bull GmbH is 51 percent controlled by the Yoovidhya family, who own the trademark for the drink in Europe and the United States of America.

why we need to change Albon? I don't see any sense. RB going for engine development freeze till 2025 and begging other team to accept it. Today we got the news that Ferrari and Renault accepted if engine rule change prepone by 1 year. what we are going to get if we change Albon in RB? will they win in coming years no? it seems they are happy with second place and if freeze on the way, we will see same line up and mercedes will dominate till 2025. Enjoy boring races....
Yeah they are going to hand the Championship to Mercedes for sure.
Frozen engines at the start of the 2021 season means I think ... Ferrari will and Renault and Mercedes be bringing as many upgrades as they can. Immediately into the testing phase of the pre season. (Because the freeze starts in Australia.)
I dont think RedBull can keep up with that level of Development. Unless Honda still lends a hand.
But anyways it makes less sense to keep Albon if that's the case the kid cant keep up with Max. If they make the car easier for Albon to drive they will also be making it slower...
So that digs a deeper hole for RedBull.
I don't think they will let go of Albon.
However keeping Albon is going to hurt them more then it already has if they also tune the car to suit Albon.
Not one team in the history of successful teams has ever made their car suit their slower driver.
RedBull is taking steps backwards... But that would be suicide.
RIP RedBull at the hands of the Thai Owners and their chosen Driver(also Thai)....

They better hope Albon can at least trouble the Mercedes undercuts.
Didn't Alonso give Honda bad publicity. Even if Alonso was willing i don't think RedBull was willing because of Honda. But I don't think RedBull is wiling at all because of Alonso's age. It's one thing a driver like Webber but Alonso's age is a bit more advanced. But I'm pretty sure they knew he was available. Just like they know everyone who is available and yet they only (for a short time) considered Hulk/Perez.
