Isack Hadjar is set to drive for Red Bull alone in a Pirelli tyre test this week at Suzuka, following the Japanese Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Red Bull and sister outfit Racing Bulls will both be in action on Tuesday and Wednesday, with RacingNews365 understanding that Hadjar will be solely behind the wheel of the RB22.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman was the top Red Bull-powered driver in qualifying ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix in eighth, but failed to score a point after falling to 12th.<\/p>\n
Max Verstappen, as is often the case with Pirelli tyre tests, will not be driving for Red Bull, having flown home immediately after the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Contrary to rumours, Red Bull reserve driver Yuki Tsunoda will not take part in the test for either the Milton Keynes-based team or Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n
It is understood that Racing Bulls will most likely field its current driver pairing of Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, the latter of whom knocked Verstappen out of qualifying.<\/p>\n
Despite an impressive qualifying display, the British rookie also fell backwards in the race, finishing 14th, while Lawson worked his way through the pack to finish ninth from 14th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Isack Hadjar is set to drive for Red Bull alone in a Pirelli tyre test this week at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[3518,3521,3519,3522,3520,3517,3515,3513,3516,3514,111,139,69,3512,213],"class_list":["post-357131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
