‘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 impressive f🤪orm of Isack Hadjౠar.
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 than Lawson♋, scoring poinওts in Bahrain and Miami and reaching Q3, he has still lagged someway behind Verstappen.
Since crashing on the formation lap on 🌱his debut F1 race at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Hadjar has been in fine form for Racing Bulls - Red Bull’s siste♓r outfit.
The 20-year-old Frenchman has scored f🍌ive points and is spearheading Racing Bulls’ charge this season, outperforming the more experienced Lawson.
Could Hadjar be knocking on Red Bull's door?
Villeneuve has suggested that Tsunoda could start feeling the pressure at Red Bull 𒉰if Hadjar continues to deliver.
“Very [impressed] because Melbourne could have been psychologically a very tough moment and he just stood straight and c🌟arried 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 seem𓄧s to understand the car to put it in a window that allows him to drive it well.
“He seems to be out-driving thaไt ca🌼r. Why? Because he gets that set-up that makes it 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 Bull seat, Villeneuve replied: “Remember Tsunoda is only ther⛎e because of Honda.
“They [Red Bull] didn’t puꩲt 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 scratch.
“They were afraid that Hadjar is too young, he’s not ready, let’s not burn him, but he’s showing no♈w that he might be ready.”
Hadja🌞r ended up seventh-fastest in final practice at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, while Tsunoda was down in 17th.
