In an announcement made on Wednesday, French driver Isack Hadjar has agreed to extend his contract with Red Bull for the 2027 Formula One season. The 21-year-old had impressed during his debut season at the team after being promoted from the Racing Bulls junior team following a strong rookie campaign in 2025. Despite missing the last three races due to a wrist injury, Hadjar remains eighth in the drivers' standings with 71 points.
He had a notable run of seven consecutive top-six finishes, including a podium at Monaco, before being sidelined. Hadjar confirmed he will return to action at the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The driver expressed excitement about returning to the wheel, having last driven in Budapest. Hadjar declined to reveal the length of his new Red Bull deal, allowing the team to handle the details.
