Isack Hadjar, a junior driver, has been promoted to partner Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull’s feeder squad RB for the upcoming season. The 20-year-old French rookie replaces Liam Lawson, who was promoted to replace Sergio Perez with Red Bull’s four-time world champion Max Verstappen in the 2025 season. “This is huge for myself, my family and all the people who have believed in me from the beginning,” replied Hadjar.
Hadjar, born and reared in Paris to an Algerian family, impressed Red Bull executives after finishing second in the Formula 2 championship this year.
“The journey from karting through the ranks in single-seaters, to now being in Formula 1 is the moment I’ve been working towards my whole life – it is the dream,” added the driver.
Laurent Mekies, RB’s team principal, stated: “We’re pleased to have Isack join us next year, bringing a new and fresh dimension to the team alongside Yuki.
“He has the talent and drive necessary to compete at the highest level, and we have every confidence that he will adapt quickly and make a significant impact.”
