Isack Hadjarꦜ has admitted he doesn’t “feel ready” to be promoted to Red Bull despite his impressive start in F1.

Hadjar has been one♍ of♊ the revelations of the season.

His campaign started disappointingly, crashing out on the formation lap of the F1 Australian Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton's father𓂃, Anthony, consoled Hadjar as he trundled back into the💦 Albert Park paddock with his helmet still on.

Since that moment, Hadjar hasn’t l🌺ooked back, delive♊ring consistent performances for Racing Bulls.

The French rookie has out-performed more ex𓆏perienced teammate Liam Lawson, leading to suggestions that Hadjar could be next in line to get a shot at Red Bull꧋.

Like ൩Lawson, Yuki Tsunoda has str🍎uggled to get to grips with the RB21 and has languished well behind teammate Max Verstappen.

Speaking ahead of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, Hadjar conceded he’s not prepared tౠo race for Red Bu🐲ll just yet.

“For sure, I don’t feel ready. T𒊎hat’s a fact,” Hadjar said as quoted by Motorsport.com.

“I think it’s good to take experience where I’m at. I💛’m enjoying so much every weekend, learning a lot. It’s a car I enjoy driving, so we’ll see in the future. As a Red Bull Junior driver, the trajectory is normal to go there.”

Hadjar eyes improvement

While Hadjar is☂ confident in his raw speed, he’s aware that🦩 he still needs to make crucial improvements in certain areas.

“I think I maybe haven’t experienced enough a tricky car. So far, my cars have been very consistent and not the hardest to drive. I didn’t have weekends where the car felt terrible. I don’t have experience of trying to bring a c🥃ar from zero to high in a single weekend,” Hadjar added.

“I think maybe on the technical aspect as well I can still make progress. Understanding what an F1 car needs to go faster and so on. I 🐭think raw speed, you have it or not, but it’s more outside of that.”

In the past, Red Bull haven't hesitated to pr♔omote drivers with little experience. 

Lawson was chosen over Tsu♊noda as Sergio Perez's replacement afte💜r just 11 races to his name.

Alex Albon had just🃏 hal꧋f a season under his belt before he got the call-up in place of Pierre Gasly.

Verstappen replaced Daniil Kvyat after💧 just over one sওeason in 2016.
