Sky F1 commentator David Croft believes Red Bull still have “got the wrong driver” after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda’s tough start with the team.

After just two races, Red Bull 🌌swapped Lia🦂m Lawson for Tsunoda.

While Tsunoda has been a small upgrade on Lawson, the Japanese driver has struggled to match 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s pace.

As a result, Red Bull could be set to finish fourth in this year’s F1📖 constructors’ c♕hampionship.

There are just five points between Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari heading into th꧋is weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Spe𒀰aking on the latest episode of the Sky F1 podcast, Crof🏅t feels Red Bull will regret not signing Sainz.

“I personally think they’ve got the wrong driver still. If they want to win a constructors’ champꦆionship, go and get a driver that is good enough,” ൩Croft said.

“And Yuki might well be in time, I don’t think he’s proved it﷽. Well, they should have got Carlos Sainz. But for whatever reason, that didn’t happen.

“Carlos Sain꧋z was the driver available on the mark🗹et for next year. Now, once you’ve not got Carlos Sainz, who are you looking for in the future?

“Lando’s loc𝕴ked into a long-term contract. George Russell’s out of contract at the end of this year. It would be an interesting combo and it would give us plenty to talk about.

“And I don’t thin🧸k there’s any animosity between George and Max. They’re just fiercely competitive human beings who have not ♓always seen eye to eye on the track at any given moment.

“But that’s the🐷 calibre of driver they’re going to have to get. And I’ve not got a downer on Yuki, ♓trust me.

“But is he a consist🃏ent podium finisher or race winner? Look at the stats. ▨No, he’s not.

“Do you want to be a constructors’ champion? Yes. Therefore, go out and get a consistent race winner or podium ♒finisher.”

Is Isack Hadjar next in line?

Isack Hadjar has been onꦜe of the revelations of the 2025 F1 season so far.

Hꩲadjar has responded well to his setback in Australia, where he crashed on the formation lap.

The Frenchman has out-classed Lawson since his 𓆏return to Racing Bulls.

His form has been so impressive that Damon Hill h𝔍as labelled him as the biggest surprise of the year.

Hadjar’s form will no doubt catch the interest of Red Bull'💝s senior man𝓰agement.
