At the Italian GP, Albon qualified ninth, four places behind teammate Max Verstappen in P5. Afterwards he said he did not think the ban on qualifying engine modes hurt Red Bull despite the poor showing. He ended the race in 15th position. Albon took his maiden Formula One podium at the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix, by overtaking Daniel Ricciardo on lap 51 after the second race restart. Albon's podium was the first podium for a Thai Formula One driver in the World Championship. He took his second Formula One podium at the Bahrain GP after Sergio Pérez retired from third place due to engine failure.
