‘If I was Tsunoda I would be worried’ claim made amid Isack Hadjar rise
Fear for Yuki Tsunoda's F1 future at Red Bull raised amid im🐼pressive form of Isack Hadjar.
Jacques Villeneuve said he would be “worried” about his future if he was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda as168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Isack Hadjar continues to impress in his rookie F1 season.
Tsunoda was promoted to the main Red Bull team to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen just three races into the 2025 season in a seat swap with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Liam Lawson following his disastrous start to the year.
While the 25-year-old Japanese driver has fared better th🅷an Lawson, scoring points in Bahrain and Miami and reaching Q3, he has still lagged someꦇway behind Verstappen.
Since crashing on the formation lap on his debut F1 rac꧙e at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Hadjar has been in fine form for Racing Bulls - Red Bull’s sister outꩲfit.
The 20-year-old Frenchman has scored five points and is spearheading Racing Bul🅠ls’ charge this season, outperforming the more exper﷽ienced Lawson.
Could Hadjar be knocking on Red Bull's door?
Villeneuve has sugges🍨ted that Tsunoda co🤡uld start feeling the pressure at Red Bull if Hadjar continues to deliver.
“Very [impressed] because Melbourne could have been psychologically♑ a very tough moment and he just stood straight and carried on,” the 1997 world champion told Sky Sports F1.
“He didn’t get too affected in the following race and he seems to be able to work with the team. He seems to understand the car to put it in a window that allows him to drive ♒it well.
“He seems to be out-driving that car. Why? Because he gets that set-up that makes i🔥t just💞 a bit more comfortable for him. He can be aggressive and if I was Tsunoda I would be worried right now.”
When asked whether he means in terms of his Red Bull𒐪 seat, Villeneuve replied: “Remember Tsunoda is only there because of Honda.
“They [Red Bull] didn’t put him in the main car last year because they don’t want Tsunoda. They didn’t have a choice when Lawson wasn’t up to scratc🔜h.
“They were afraid that Hadjar is too young, he’s not ready, let’s not burn him, but he’s showing now t🀅hat he might be ready.”
Hadjar ended up seventh-fastest in finalꦑ practice at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, while Tsunoda was down in 17th.
