Helmut Marko has told Isack Hadjar he needs to “keep his emotions under control” ahead of his F1 debut with Racing Bulls next year.

On Friday morning, Hadjar was announced as a Racing Bulls F1 driver, teaming up with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

The 2൲0-year-old Frenchman finished second in the 2024 Formula 2 standings, narrowly missing out on the title to Gabriel Bortoleto, who will make his F1 debut with Sauber in 2025.

Hadjar is the latest Red Bull talent to make the step up to F1, following the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo.

Speaking before Red Bull’s announcements this week, Marko was asked about Hadjar - and what he needs to im♊prove if he’s going to make it into F1.

Assessing Hadjar, Marko told the : “First of all, I 🐠have to say Isack lost more than 80 points through technical issues.

“To still keep motivated and keep✱ your speed was already a big achievement. Isack is fast but he has to keep his emotions under control and has to focus. One example when in Monte Carlo, there was a Safety Car and he was all of a sudden in front of him. He was moaning and complaining. ‘Why?’ and so on.

“Instead, the guy had cold tyres. He should have driven to attack 🏅him instead of being all ov♏er the place on the radio.

“So, generally, focus on the important things a💧nd make less mistakes like he had a spin in the test in🎃 Abu Dhabi. I think he had a spin on a Friday outing.

“🌳Be more consistent but the speed and everything is here. The rest comes through routine.”

Hadjar completes F1 2025 grid

Hadjar’s Racing Bulls announcement means the 2025 grid is finally com🔜plete.
