Isack Hadjar has commented briefly on the driver change between Red Bull Racing and sister team Racing Bulls. The Frenchman, who is in his rookie season in Formula 1, will see Yuki Tsunoda leave after only two races and, like Max Verstappen, will get a new teammate.
Hadjar reacts to early driver change Red Bull
"Was short, but was a pleasure, Yuki!" writes Hadjar in his Instagram stories in reaction to Tsunoda's departure from Racing Bulls to take over from Liam Lawson ahead of theJapanese Grand Prix at Red Bull Racing, as the Kiwi driver moves back to the sister team where he will join the French Algerian.
It was a decision viewed as controversial by many figures, with F1 Grand Prix winner Ralf Schumacher criticising Red Bull's leadership and warning Tsunoda that he would never have taken the seat, as fellow former F1 driver, Giedo van der Garde also pointed the finger to the Austrian team's top brass accusing them of bullying.
Max Verstappen's father, Jos Verstappen, has also been vocal in expressing his support of Lawson wishing him the best at Racing Bulls and claiming that the Kiwi talent 'deserves to be in F1.'
