According to Albon, Red Bull Ring will not yet give a definite answer about speed

How do Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull Racing relate to each other this season, that's the most important question on everyone's lips. The drivers are not yet able to give a definitive answer to this question. Alexander Albon even thinks that the two races on the Red Bull Ring won't provide a definitive answer.
It is true that the Austrian Grand Prix was won in the last two years by a car that was not the fastest over the whole season. Moreover, they drive here at a considerable height and do not make use of the maximum downward pressure available. According to Albon, the twisty Hungaroring should give a better picture of the rest of the season.
"The Red Bull Ring is not a good gauge, but the Hungaroring is. The team has been very strong here (on the Red Bull Ring) in recent years and we have a good feeling about it. We know from the winter tests that we generally have a strong car", Albon said to Speedweek.com and others.
So he is satisfied with the RB16 that he drove on the Silverstone circuit last week. The only uncertainty is based on the fact that he can't properly assess what the other teams have done since the Australian Grand Prix.
