Isack Hadjar is set to make his Formula 1 debut in 2025, joining Red Bull’s feeder team, RB, alongside Yuki Tsunoda.
The 20-year-old French rookie, born and raised in Paris to an Algerian family, secured his position after a standout performance as runner-up in this year’s Formula 2 championship.
Hadjar will replace Liam Lawson, who moves up to join Red Bull’s main team next to four-time world champion Max Verstappen, filling the seat left by Sergio Perez. “This is huge for myself, my family, and all the people who have believed in me from the beginning,” expressed Hadjar.
