New Driver to Team Up with Yuki Tsunoda for Next Season

Isack Hadjar, a French-Algerian driver, will be the third French driver on the 20-car starting grid next season. He will be racing for Red Bull’s second team, RB, alongside Yuki Tsunoda.

A Journey to the Top

Hadjar’s journey to Formula One began with karting and progressed through the ranks in single-seaters. He was the runner-up in Formula Two, a significant achievement that earned him his spot in the top tier of racing. In his own words, “The journey from karting through the ranks in single-seaters, to now being in Formula One is the moment I’ve been working towards my whole life, it is the dream.”

A New Universe to Explore

As he takes on the challenge of racing with the best drivers in the world, Hadjar acknowledges that he is stepping into a whole new universe. “I feel like I’m stepping into a whole new universe, driving a much faster car and racing with the best drivers in the world.

Replacing Liam Lawson

Hadjar takes the place of New Zealander Liam Lawson, who was confirmed as teammate to four-time world champion Max Verstappen at the main Red Bull team. Lawson’s departure is attributed to the dramatic collapse in form this season, which led to him being dropped despite having a contract for next year.

A New Era for Red Bull

With Sergio Perez’s departure, Red Bull is looking to revamp their lineup. Hadjar’s addition brings a fresh perspective to the team and an opportunity to learn from the experienced drivers around him.

Third French Driver on the Grid

Hadjar will be the third French driver on the 20-car starting grid next season, joining Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and Haas’s Esteban Ocon.
