Isack Hadjar

Isack Hadjar is a French racing driver competing in Formula 1 for Red Bull Racing. Born in Paris, he rose through the junior ranks with wins in the FIA Formula 3 Championship and finished runner-up in the 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship before earning a promotion to F1. Known for his aggressive overtaking and wet-weather prowess, Hadjar became the first French driver to race for Red Bull Racing since the team's inception. He is widely regarded as one of the most promising talents of his generation, drawing comparisons to fellow Red Bull academy graduates like Max Verstappen.

Hadjar's 2026 season has been a mix of promise and controversy. After a strong start with points finishes in the first three rounds, he was disqualified from the Miami Grand Prix for a technical infringement, sparking debate within Red Bull about race strategy. The disqualification dropped him to 11th in the drivers' standings, but he remains a key part of the team's long-term plans. Teammate Max Verstappen has publicly supported Hadjar, calling the Miami incident 'a learning moment.'
