P1racenews AI automatic summary:
It has been far from plain sailing at Red Bull so far this year, and with one driver down and one struggling in the second seat, F1 rookie Isack Hadjar is potentially in line for a shock promotion.
The Red Bull team has faced challenges this year, with one driver out and the other struggling. Formula 1 rookie Isack Hadjar, from Red Bull’s junior program, is showing strong potential for a promotion. Despite a shaky start, Hadjar has impressed with five top 10 finishes and currently sits in ninth place in the Drivers’ Championship with 21 points.
His performances have caught the attention of team principals Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, especially as Yuki Tsunoda, struggling alongside Max Verstappen, is facing difficulties. Hadjar may be considered for a move to the main team. However, former World Champion Nico Rosberg advised Hadjar to decline any potential promotion, citing the challenges of the Red Bull second seat.
Hadjar has expressed his readiness to take on the role if asked, but it seems he will remain with Racing Bulls for now. Team management expects Tsunoda to continue for the season and is optimistic about his improvement. Despite the uncertainties, Hadjar’s future in F1 remains intriguing as he continues to make his mark.
