Frenchman Hadjar, 21, has made a big impression in his debut season with sister team Racing Bulls including taking his first podium with a third place finish in the Dutch Grand Prix at the end of August. Tsunoda's departure leaves Formula One without a Japanese driver on the starting grid. Red Bull said he will remain in the team as reserve. (Production: Stephanie Lecocq, Stefan Haskins)
