Alexander Albon will become the 11th driver to compete for Red Bull Racing when he starts the Belgian Grand Prix on September 1.

The Thai driver, 23, has been promoted from Toro Rosso, Red Bull's sister team, with the struggling Pierre Gasly going the other way after a disappointing first 12 races of 2019.

Red Bull's statement on the move on Monday highlighted that Albon, who only made his F1 debut in March in Australia has the remaining nine races of the season, culminating with the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 1, to impress the team and earn a permanent drive for 2020.

Red Bull have been on the grid since 2005, having taken over the Jaguar team.

Since then they have had four drivers' championships, 61 victories (only Mercedes-GP have won more in the period) and 61 pole positions.
