Hadjar says he learned he was a Red Bull driver through “just a talk with Helmut,” entering 2026 focused on adaptation, hunger, and a clean-slate era.

The 2026 Formula One grid is complete, with Isack Hadjar set to replace Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull and Arvid Lindblad making the jump to F1 with Racing Bulls, partnering Liam Lawson. Tsunoda is set to take up test and reserve driver duties with Red Bull in 2026.

Ahead of the penultimate race of 2025, Hadjar has his eyes on yet another points finish in Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix.

Six rookies took the leap into Formula One for the 2025 season, with Oliver Bearman, Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto, Liam Lawson and Franco Colapinto jumping up to the pinnacle of motorsport after they each took their own respective success in the 2024 Formula 2 season and other junior series. 

Isack Hadjar reframes Red Bull seat rumours, dismissing speculation and positioning himself as a contender through performance and merit.

Isack Hadjar fell foul of the gravel twice on his run in Q1, and much to his dismay what he felt was some unnessecary behaviour from Carlos Sainz.

Isack Hadjar's outstanding drive to maintain his position throughout the Dutch Grand Prix provided him with his "unreal" maiden F1 podium.

Oscar Piastri took his seventh win of 2025 and extends his championship lead to 34 points, after teammate Lando Norris suffered a damaging mechanical failure that took him out of the race. Max Verstappen was promoted to second on home soil, while Isack Hadjar sealed his maiden Formula One podium in his rookie season with Racing Bulls.

Racing Bulls had a rocky start to the season with key reshuffles within the team but still show promise of upward results with two drivers in their first full F1 season.
