The Frenchman earns promotion to the senior Red Bull team after an impressive 2025 rookie season with Racing Bulls. A graduate of the Red Bull Junior Programme, Hadjar arrived in F1 having finished as F2 runner-up, and his debut season at the sister team featured the kind of points-scoring consistency that the senior outfit has struggled to find on the second seat in recent years.
Stepping up to partner Verstappen is famously one of the toughest assignments in Formula 1, and Hadjar takes it on at a moment of significant regulatory and engine change. How quickly he adapts to the senior team's car and the spotlight that comes with it will be one of the defining storylines of the 2026 season.
