Isack Hadjar Refuses to be Outshined by Red Bull Replacement Drama!
The motorsport world is buzzing as Isack Hadjar, a Racing Bulls driver, dismisses the need for anyone “special” beside him amidst the Red Bull team shake-up. Liam Lawson was swiftly replaced by Yuki Tsunoda after just two races in the 2024 Formula 1 season, leaving Hadjar unfazed by the sudden change in his racing partner.
Despite the initial choice of Lawson over Tsunoda to replace Sergio Perez, Red Bull now believes Tsunoda is the ideal match for four-time champion Max Verstappen. Hadjar finds himself now paired with a rookie instead of his former teammate Tsunoda, who had a four-year stint with the team.
Addressing the situation in Suzuka, Hadjar coolly stated, “I don’t need anyone special alongside to push myself to drive as fast as I can.” Confident in his abilities, he remains focused on his performance and believes that he and Lawson will work well together.
The recent Flat Out in Tokyo showrun, powered by Honda, saw all four drivers – Hadjar, Lawson, Verstappen, and Tsunoda – hitting the streets of Tokyo in their impressive Red Bull machines. Despite the apparent tensions, Hadjar assured that there were no awkward encounters among the drivers, as they understand the challenges of the sport.
As Red Bull and its sister team, Racing Bulls, bid farewell to their partnership with Honda after the 2025 season, a special all-white livery was revealed to commemorate the last Japanese Grand Prix together. This unique livery pays homage to Honda’s first Formula 1 victory at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix, driven by Richie Ginther in the RA272, showcasing the rich history between the two iconic brands.
In a world where every move on the racetrack is scrutinized, Isack Hadjar stands firm, ready to face whatever challenges come his way, with or without a “special” teammate by his side.
