Ralf Schumacher warns that the “undervalued” F1 rookie could send his teammate “to retirement” in 2025

Similarly, Pierre Gasly can be the leader of the team in Alpine next to Jack Doohan. AND Flavio Briatore can also promote Franco ColapintoIts reserve driver, once Doohan reaches the end of his five -run contract.

Oliver Bearman, who already has three Grands Prix to his credit, will hope to compete with Esteban Ocon immediately. He produced impressive actions against Nico Hulkenberg when he was standing in Haas last year.

The biggest contrast is Sauber, where the age gap between the two drivers is 17 years. Hulkenberg is one of the most experienced pilots on the network, while the F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto has never driven in a F1 weekend.

Finally, there is an intriguing dynamic in Racing bulls. Red Bull’s hierarchy is not particularly elegant Yuki Tsunodaso that it possibly creates pressure for the rookie Isack hadjar To match it, thus demonstrating its own credentials.

Ralf Schumacher says the arrival of Isack Hadjar could mean the end for Yuki Tsunoda

Speaking in a previous view of the season for Sky Germany, Ralf Schumacher He made a bold prediction for the battle of Racing Bulls. He thinks that Tsunoda has no opportunity to beat Hadjar.

The Japanese driver comes from the back of his best F1 season so far. The best number 12 of the championship ended, scoring 30 of the 46 points of his team.

However, Schumacher feels that Hadjar has been underestimated, arguing that a series of retirement cost him the title of F2 last year. He won four races in the series in general and also obtained three victories in F3.

If French prevails, Schumacher suspects that he could mark the end of Tsunoda’s career. It is out of contract at the end of the season.

Schumacher said: “The following combination where you can send the other to retirement, in this case Tsunoda. (Hadjar) is good. It was super fast in formula 2, formula 3.

“It was actually somewhat undervalued due to some difficulties, otherwise, it would have become a champion. It is excellent to fight at the beginning. I think Tsunoda has no chance against him.”

The real reason why Red Bull rejected Yuki Tsunoda now has emerged

Hadjar wants to learn from tsunoda and has tried to minimize expectations. But Schumacher has not paid attention.

David Croft fears that there is no space for tsunoda In the 2026 grid now that their Honda sponsors are dividing with Red Bull. Instead, they are supplying Aston Martin, where both drivers recently signed extensions of several years.

Last season, Tsunoda effectively withdrew Daniel Ricciardo surpassing the Australian and exposing his decline. Now Schumacher believes that Hadjar could do the same with him.

In the one-year space, I could go from a nominal Red Bull contender to an ex-f1 driver. Christian Horner expects Max Verstappen to leaveSo I loved someone who could occupy the ‘hot seat’ in the long term, not a number two capable of as a tsunoda.
