Hadjar wants to ‘fight for the title’ next season

Isack Hadjar, the 21-year-old French racing driver, has set his sights on challenging for the championship title next season after a solid first season with Red Bull. The former Racing Bulls driver missed three Grand Prix in August and September following a broken wrist, but returned to action last weekend and finished third in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Hadjar, who is currently eighth in the standings on 86 points, expressed his ambition to "crush the rest of the grid" in the coming season. While admitting that Red Bull is not currently in contention for the title, he remains optimistic and hopes the team can produce a car capable of challenging Mercedes' championship leader Kimi Antolin.

Hadjar admires France's only previous world champion Alain Prost and aspires to emulate his four titles between 1985 and 1993. He emphasized the need to keep pushing, stating that the goal is 2027, and he is determined to accelerate toward that target.
