So much speculation, only thing needed is some proof, like so much of what happens in life.
Driver standings - RB
2010 Vettel 1 Webber 3
2011 Vettel 1 Webber 3
2012 Vettel 1 Webber 6
2013 Vettel 1 Webber 3
2014 Ric 3 Vettel 5 ------- How could they not sabotage driver #2 so that Vettel would come out on top?
2015 Kyvat 7 Ric 8 ------- How could driver they let driver #2 come out ahead
2016 Ric 3 Verstappen 5
2017 Ric 5 Ver 6
2018 Ver 4 Ric 6------- Again, driver #2 came out on top, how could it happen?
2019 Ver 3 Albon 8 ----------Unlike almost every other year driver #2 isn't even close
2020 Ver 3 Alban 7 --------------Once again the figured out how to have driver #2 not even close
So many years the two drivers are neck and neck, sometimes the driver that came in 2nd on the team one year came out ahead next year, suddenly Albon can't come anywhere close to Verstappen and of course it is sabotage and RB wanting him to fail
In the last 11 years, 3 times the second place driver on the team was more than 2 spots behind the lead driver. Albon was two of them. The evidence shows that most of the time the two drivers end up very close in the overall standings, Albon seems to be the odd one out when it comes to the team competitions for the last 11 years.
