P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar has set himself a potent target for his maiden Formula 1 campaign: beating team-mate Yuki Tsunoda.
Hadjar, a product of the Red Bull junior programme, moves up to the Faenza-based Racing Bulls F1 team after finishing second in the 2024 Formula 2 Drivers’ Championship. He replaces Liam Lawson, who took Sergio Perez’s spot in the main Red Bull outfit. Transitioning from F2 to F1, Hadjar will primarily compare himself to Tsunoda as they’ll be in the same car. Tsunoda, entering his fifth F1 season, aims to maintain his edge against his rivals, including Hadjar. Despite wanting to outperform Tsunoda, Hadjar respects his teammate and looks forward to learning from the experienced driver. Both drivers have points to prove as they embark on the F1 adventure in 2025.
