"Make all mistakes now" – Why Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar want Red Bull to experiment for 2027

Red Bull has two main objectives left in the 2026 Formula 1 season: to avoid their first winless year since 2015 and to gather as much information as possible for the 2027 season. According to Motorsport.com, Max Verstappen has expressed that Baku was theoretically a good opportunity for the team.

Isack Hadjar, a Red Bull driver, recently returned to racing after sustaining a wrist fracture during the summer break. He had to sit out several Grands Prix, but made a comeback at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where he finished third. Hadjar revealed on F1's Beyond The Grid podcast that he still doesn't have full movement in his wrist, but considers his condition "good enough."

Hadjar joked that he did a "good job" during his time out of the race seat, having completed over 100 laps on the simulator. He emphasized that his priority is the feeling he has in the car and managing his pain, rather than regaining full mobility in his wrist.
