Isack Hadjar, the promising young driver in Formula 1, has expressed confidence about securing a spot on the F1 grid for the upcoming season. The French racer currently drives for Racing Bulls, with possibilities of either continuing with the team or advancing to the senior Red Bull team. The matter of Red Bull’s second seat, alongside Max Verstappen, remains a hot topic as Yuki Tsunoda has replaced Liam Lawson after only two rounds of the 2025 season.
Hadjar’s Performance and Future Prospects
Despite Tsunoda’s inconsistency, with only 25 points earned this season, Hadjar has shown remarkable potential. He has amassed 51 points, positioning himself within the top 10 in the standings, making him the second highest-scoring rookie. His impressive podium finish at Zandvoort and experience in Formula 2 solidify his case for a possible promotion to Red Bull for the 2026 season.
Statements from Hadjar
In a recent interview in Qatar, Hadjar discussed his future prospects with optimism. “Last year, I didn’t really know if I was going to F1, and now I know I’ll be on the grid next year,” he stated. He emphasized the significance of this milestone, saying it “ends all the questions” regarding his future in the sport.
Upcoming Changes in Formula 1
Looking ahead, Red Bull is preparing to introduce their own power units in collaboration with Ford starting in 2026. Hadjar shared his views on the upcoming regulations: “I know the engine is working…there’s no reason for it not to be competitive, so I’m going to be optimistic.”
Focus on Current Season
As the season approaches its conclusion, Hadjar remains focused on delivering the best performance possible for Racing Bulls. With two races left, he currently holds a two-point lead over both Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz. His ambition is to finish the year in the top 10.
Future Goals
Hadjar has his sights set high, expressing that if he secures a podium finish while Alex Albon scores no points, he could aim for eighth in the standings. “I’m very confident heading into this weekend. On paper, I would say the car is going to be flying,” he asserted.
As speculation regarding his future continues, Isack Hadjar stands as a key figure to watch in Formula 1, with a potential bright future ahead in the sport.
