哈贾尔回归,红牛2026年F1车手阵容各就各位
红牛在阿塞拜疆大奖赛恢复其2026年F1首选车手阵容,伊萨克·哈贾尔伤愈回归,利亚姆·劳森回到小红牛,角田裕毅重新担任储备车手。
红牛将在阿塞拜疆大奖赛重新拥有其首选车手阵容,伊萨克·哈贾尔在因伤缺席三场F1比赛后回归。
这意味着利亚姆·劳森在第二次(而且令人难以置信地更长的)效力高级车队后回到小红牛,而角田裕毅在完成他的F1 2026客串后再次担任储备车手角色。
夏季休赛期后的这三场比赛告诉了我们关于红牛F1车手池中五位车手的什么?这对他们的声誉有何影响?这又让他们在2026年剩余时间里处于什么位置?
哈贾尔需要加入红牛上升的浪潮
哈贾尔重新夺回他的红牛席位,他确信自己应该超越代班车手劳森在那种情况下完全合格的表现。但他的回归并非没有压力。
由于对赛车没有事先了解,并且再次在车队之间被来回调动,劳森的得分努力让红牛的积分持续增长。
这意味着哈贾尔回归时必须达到或非常接近自己的最佳状态。否则,红牛在竞争前景上就是做出了错误的决定。
这还是一个对身体要求很高的三连赛。这将考验他的康复情况、他的专注力,以及他恢复速度的快慢。
哈贾尔在夏季休赛期前的工作表现非常令人鼓舞。在前11场比赛中,他平均每场得6.5分,维斯塔潘为9.9分。换句话说,如果维斯塔潘通常获得第五名,哈贾尔会落后他一两个位置。
但哈贾尔被期望做的不仅仅是他在被迫让出席位之前所做的事情。在他缺席的三场比赛中,尽管维斯塔潘在赞德沃特发生撞车,但由于在蒙扎和马德里赛道登上领奖台,他的场均得分升至12分。劳森每场仅得到4.7分。
维斯塔潘已经表明红牛的上限正在上升,哈贾尔重新回归需要随之上升。——斯科特·米切尔-马尔姆
劳森证明了他终究能胜任这份工作
在夏季休赛期之前,劳森在红牛F1帝国中的未来看起来已经相当稳固,这得益于他在小红牛上半赛季的稳定表现,使他成为前四名车队之外积分榜上的领先车手。
是的,在尼古拉·措洛夫令人印象深刻的F2赛季之后,围绕他有相当多的炒作,但那些与劳森最密切合作的人谈到了他在冬季在方法和表现上的阶跃式变化。
尤其是他的工程团队喜欢他的方式,尽管他不喜欢2026年的规则,但他还是埋头苦干,在能量管理方面释放了不少技巧,推动了车队前进。
当时的迹象表明,小红牛完全打算利用他所交付的成果,让他与阿尔维德·林德布拉德再搭档一年。即使在F1中,如果你的车手阵容没有坏,就不要修它。
红牛的意外机会给了劳森一个机会,驱散2025年那个艰难开局的阴影,而在如此迅速地适应一辆棘手的赛车时,他证明了小红牛那些人已经知道的事情。
他做得非常扎实。两次得分,最困难的周末是蒙扎,那场比赛注定是一场艰苦的战斗,因为他因引擎罚退从后排起步。
他是否做得足以迫使红牛重新考虑劳森才是他们真正应该与维斯塔潘搭档的人?大概没有。
但他是否做得足以表明他正是小红牛在力争领跑中游时需要利用其进步的人?绝对是的。——乔恩·诺布尔
角田裕毅仍然是一位可靠的得分手
角田裕毅只是印证了他在红牛第二车队前四个完整赛季所表明的:在合适的赛车中,他是一位可靠的得分手。与维斯塔潘并肩作战的艰难赛季几乎没有改变这一点。
他在赞德沃特首次驾驶2026年小红牛赛车时很快就找到了速度,周六排位赛仅比林德布拉德慢十分之一。
随后角田在蒙扎获得了复出后的第一分,尽管周六Q1出局令人失望,比赛开始时还有一些危险的发车格停车问题(奥迪正试图利用这一点来剥夺他的积分)。
在马德里的损坏毁掉了在那里做同样事情的机会,但他已经充分证明了自己是一位理想的代班车手。适应快,能够得分。但还不足以惊艳到让人说‘这家伙不应该被留在场边’。
用角田的话说:“我竭尽全力,没有什么可遗憾的。”
如果这是角田114场F1生涯的终点,那么这比在维斯塔潘身后苦苦挣扎要体面得多。——乔什·萨蒂尔
作为今年赛场上唯一的新秀,林德布拉德在大奖赛生涯中已经有了令人印象深刻的开局。
但这三场比赛至少还勾选了另一个选项。
劳森-林德布拉德的搭档一直特别匹配;他们的效率是小红牛在车队积分榜上仍然领先阿尔派的重要原因。
虽然角田完全适应了这些2026年赛车的要求,但小红牛在这个动态中总是需要另一位车手来领跑。林德布拉德正是这样做的。
他在蒙扎的速度足以领先一辆他几乎没有资格击败的阿尔派(尽管佛朗哥·科拉平托有自己造成的闹剧);马德里赛道周末并不完美,但他仍然带回了两个积分;即使在赞德沃特,一次严厉的比赛处罚让他退出了竞争,他仍然有效地阻止了皮埃尔·加斯利获得更多积分,并给角田提供了最好的开分机会。
这已经是连续七次进入Q3,而且小红牛在车队积分榜上保持了对阿尔派的领先优势。
来自一位仍然只有19岁的车手的更多令人印象深刻的表现,他的表现不会逃过红牛高层的注意。现在的问题是小红牛的力量平衡是否可能已经向他倾斜。——杰克·科曾斯
维斯塔潘关心他的队友是谁以及他们的表现如何。这直接和间接地影响着他。
哈贾尔的无缝回归对维斯塔潘来说将是一个提振,因为红牛继续试图在前方持续战斗。当梅赛德斯、法拉利和迈凯伦通常都能依靠两位车手时,让第二辆车加入竞争至关重要。
劳森在红牛的每一场比赛中都没有在距离比赛冠军一分钟内完赛。不管有什么减轻因素,这不可避免地意味着维斯塔潘和红牛在单手作战(当然,维斯塔潘是在赞德沃特壮观退赛的那个人)。
如果哈贾尔能立即达到最佳状态,他将成为前方比赛结果的一个因素,也是红牛试图改善其车队积分榜第四名的一个因素。
由于他错过了三场比赛并离开了两个月,立即强势回归也可能被视为进一步证明维斯塔潘的理论,即F1 2026没有它应该有的那么费力。
但如果这对他和他的车队有利,维斯塔潘不太可能抱怨这一点。——SMM
英文原文
Red Bull will have its first-choice driver line-up back again at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, as Isack Hadjar returns from an injury-enforced three-race spell on the Formula 1 sidelines.
That means Liam Lawson heads back to Racing Bulls after a second (and, incredibly, longer) spell at the senior team, while Yuki Tsunoda takes up his reserve-driver role once more after his F1 2026 cameo.
What did those three races after the summer break tell us about the five drivers in Red Bull's F1 pool? What did it do for their reputations? And where does it leave them for the rest of 2026?
Hadjar needs to join Red Bull's rising tide
Hadjar reclaims his Red Bull seat safe in the knowledge he should eclipse his stand-in Lawson's perfectly adequate job in the circumstances. But his return is not without pressure.
With no prior knowledge of the car, and being bounced between teams yet again, Lawson's point-scoring efforts kept Red Bull's tally ticking over.
That means Hadjar must be returning with the expectation of being at or very close to his best. Otherwise, Red Bull would be making the wrong call for its competitive prospects.
It's also a triple-header that will be physically demanding. It will test his rehabilitation, his concentration, and how sharply he gets back up to speed.
Hadjar's body of work before the summer break was very encouraging. In the first 11 races, he averaged 6.5 points to Verstappen's 9.9. In other words, if Verstappen typically finished fifth, Hadjar would be one or two places behind him.
But Hadjar will be expected to do more than just what he was doing before he had to vacate his seat. In the three races he missed, Verstappen's average rose to 12 points per race despite his crash at Zandvoort, thanks to podiums at Monza and the Madring. Lawson only managed 4.7 per event.
Verstappen has shown the peak is rising for Red Bull, and Hadjar steps back in needing to rise with it. - Scott Mitchell-Malm
Lawson proved he could do the job after all
Lawson's future within the Red Bull F1 empire had looked pretty secure already before the summer break, off the back of a consistent first half to the season for Racing Bulls that had left him the leading driver in the points' standings outside the top four teams.
Yes, there had been a fair deal of hype around Nikola Tsolov off the back of his impressive Formula 2 campaign, but those who worked most closely with Lawson talked of a step change in approach and performance over the winter.
His engineering team in particular liked the way he had, despite his dislike of the 2026 regulations, knuckled down to unleash a fair few tricks in energy management that had pushed the team onwards.
The indications back then were that Racing Bulls had every intention of capitalising on what he was delivering to keep him on alongside Arvid Lindblad for another year. Even in F1, if your driver line-up is not broken, don't fix it.
The surprise opportunity at Red Bull offered Lawson a chance to banish the ghosts of that troubled start of 2025, and in settling in so quickly to a tricky car he proved what those at Racing Bulls already knew.
He did a more than solid job. Twice in the points, with the most difficult weekend being Monza, which was always going to be an uphill battle because he was starting from the back with an engine penalty.
Did he do enough to force a rethink at Red Bull that Lawson is the man they really should have alongside Verstappen? Probably not.
But did he do enough to show that he is exactly what Racing Bulls needs to capitalise on its progress as it aims to top the midfield? Absolutely. - Jon Noble
Tsunoda is still a reliable points scorer
Yuki Tsunoda simply backed up what his previous four full seasons at Red Bull's second team had suggested: he's a reliable points scorer in the right machinery. A bruising season alongside Verstappen has done little to change that.
He was quickly on the pace when he jumped into the 2026 Racing Bulls for the first time at Zandvoort, qualifying only a tenth slower than Lindblad on Saturday.
Tsunoda then picked up the first point of his comeback at Monza despite a disappointing Q1 exit on Saturday and some dodgy grid parking at the start of the race (something Audi is trying to use to have the point taken away from him).
Damage in Madrid ruined any chance of doing the same there but he more than proved he's an ideal stand-in driver. Quick to adapt and capable of delivering points. But not stunning enough to go 'this guy shouldn't be left on the sidelines'.
In Tsunoda's words: "I gave it my all and there's nothing to regret."
If this is the end of Tsunoda's 114-race F1 career, then it's a far more fitting end than toiling miles off Verstappen. - Josh Suttill
As the sole rookie in the field this year, Lindblad had already made an impressive start to life in grand prix racing.
But this three-race spell ticked at least one other box.
The Lawson-Lindblad partnership has been a particularly well-matched one; their effectiveness is a big part of the reason Racing Bulls still heads Alpine in the constructors' championship.
But while Tsunoda adjusted perfectly well to the demands of these 2026 cars, Racing Bulls was always going to need its other driver in this dynamic to lead the line. Lindblad did just that.
His pace was sufficient at Monza to finish ahead of an Alpine that he had little right beating (notwithstanding Franco Colapinto's self-inflicted drama); the Madring weekend was imperfect but he still brought home two points; and even at Zandvoort, where a harsh in-race penalty dropped him out of contention, he was an effective disruptor in stopping Pierre Gasly from scoring more points and giving Tsunoda the best chance of getting off the mark.
That's now seven Q3 appearances in a row, too, and Racing Bulls has preserved a margin over Alpine in the constructors' championship.
More impressive stuff from a driver who's still only 19, whose performances won't have escaped the attention of Red Bull higher-ups. The question now is whether the balance of power at Racing Bulls might have shifted in his favour. - Jack Cozens
Verstappen cares who his team-mate is and how they are performing. It directly, and indirectly, impacts him.
A seamless Hadjar return would be a boost for Verstappen as Red Bull continues to try to fight consistently at the front. Getting the second car in the mix is crucial when Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren can all typically count on both their drivers.
Lawson didn't finish within a minute of the race winner on any of his Red Bull starts. Regardless of the mitigating factors, that inevitably meant Verstappen and Red Bull were fighting one-handed (although Verstappen was the one who exited spectacularly at Zandvoort, of course).
If Hadjar can be immediately at his best, he will be a factor in race outcomes at the front and in Red Bull's bid to try to improve on its fourth place in the constructors' championship.
As he's missed three races and spent two months away, an instantly strong return could also be seen as further vindication for Verstappen's theory that F1 2026's not as strenuous as it should be.
But that's unlikely to be something Verstappen complains about if it benefits him and his team. - SMM
