  "summary": "Isack Hadjar will remain with Red Bull as Max Verstappen's teammate through the 2027 season. The 21-year-old French-Algerian driver was promoted to the senior team this season after a rookie year with Racing Bulls. According to Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies, Hadjar has been \"superb on and off track\" despite being in only his second F1 season.\n\nHadjar's best result this season was a third-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix. He had been missing from the last three Grands Prix due to a broken wrist sustained while boxing as part of his training programme. Motorsport.com reports that Hadjar's contract extension drew approval from fans.\n\nHadjar expressed his excitement about continuing with Red Bull, saying he was aware of the privilege of driving for such an \"incredible team\" alongside a four-time World Champion like Max Verstappen. He also praised the team's talented people and ambition.",
