Testovací pilot Hirakawa se po Velké ceně Japonska stěhuje z Alpinu do Haasu

Americká stáj F1 Haas potvrdila zisk nového rezervního a testovacího pilota pro aktuální sezonu. Tím se stal Rjó Hirakawa, 31letý Japonec, který ve víkendové Velké ceně Japonska odřídil svůj letošní první volný trénink. To ale ještě bylo v monopostu Alpine.

Hirakawa byl jedním ze čtyř rezervních pilotů francouzské stáje společně s Francem Colapintem, Paulem Aronem a Kushem Mainim. V Haasu je oficiálně jediným.

Přestože je běžnou praxí, že stáje své rezervní a testovací jezdce sdílejí, bývá tak zvykem pouze u týmů využívajících stejnou pohonnou jednotku. To u Alpinu (Renault) a Haasu (Ferrari) neplatí. Přesun Hirakawy je tedy podle všeho regulérním přestupem.

Vzhledem k silným vazbám Toyoty na americkou stáj není divu, že se japonský pilot vydal právě tam. Sám za Toyotu závodil v závodech WEC a 24 hodin Le Mans, který v roce 2022 vyhrál.

„Jsem nadšený, že se mohu připojit k týmu MoneyGram Haas F1. Vážím si této příležitosti a těším se na novou cestu, která nás s týmem čeká,“ uvedl Hirakawa.

Japonec za Haas odjezdil už posezonní testování 2024 v Abú Zabí a ve své kariéře ještě nikdy nenastoupil do Velké ceny formule 1. To mu umožňuje zaujmout během tréninku místo jednoho ze závodníků a splnit tak povinnost každé stáje umožnit nováčkům odjet dva tréninky v každém z jejích vozů. Za nováčka je považován každý jezdec, který má maximálně dva starty v závodě F1.

„Jako součást spolupráce s Toyota GAZOO Racing máme čest přivítat nový talent v našem týmu. Je skvělé zde Hirakawu mít a využít jeho zkušenosti v náš prospěch. Určitě nám pomůže zlepšit znalosti a pochopení současného vozu,“ liboval si šéf Haasu Ajao Komacu.

„Jeho zpětná vazba po minulé sezoně byla velmi obsáhlá a detailní, tudíž věříme, že jeho zapojení do čtyř tréninků pro nás bude prospěšné.“

Haas oznámil, že Hirakawa odjede všechny čtyři tréninky místo hlavních jezdců. Olivera Bearmana by měl v kokpitu nahradit už v pátek v Bahrajnu a následně v Mexiku. Za Ocona má zase zaskočit ve Španělsku a Abú Zabí.

„Tréninku se zúčastním už v Bahrajnu, takže budu sedět v monopostu dva týdny po sobě. To je pro mě vzrušující,“ těšil se Japonec na následující zastávku šampionátu formule 1. Ta se uskuteční už následující víkend od 11. do 13. dubna.

Formule 1 2025

Letošní sezona seriálu formule 1 začala 16. března Velkou cenou Austrálie a končí 7. prosince v Abú Zabí. Titul mezi jezdci obhajuje Nizozemec Max Verstappen z Red Bullu a mezi stájemi britský McLaren.

Anthony Edwards over Luka Dončić? Wolves will take it; plus NBA playoffs observations
