Buckle up, because the team has officially confirmed that Isack Hadjar, the sensational talent from their satellite team, Racing Bulls, will be joining reigning champion Max Verstappen on the main roster!
Hadjar, a rising star in the motorsport world, currently sits at an impressive 10th place in the Drivers’ standings, showcasing a formidable blend of skill and composure in his rookie season. The French driver has not only captured the attention of fans but has also secured a jaw-dropping podium finish at Zandvoort, solidifying his status as one of the hottest properties in Formula 1.
The question on everyone’s lips has been whether Hadjar would earn the coveted promotion to Red Bull’s main team, especially after witnessing the struggles of his predecessors, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda, alongside Verstappen.

Reflecting on his journey, Hadjar recalled the rollercoaster ride of his first year, which began with a devastating crash during the formation lap of his debut race. While most rookies might have crumbled under such pressure, Hadjar proved his mettle by scoring points in subsequent races and ultimately clinching a podium finish in the Netherlands. This triumph not only highlighted his resilience but also intensified the buzz surrounding his future with Red Bull.
As anticipation builds for the 2026 season, it’s essential to note the seismic shifts happening within the F1 landscape.
