Red Bull has confirmed that Isack Hadjar will remain a driver for the team through the 2027 season, extending his contract. Max Verstappen, his teammate, expressed support for this decision, stating that it “made perfect sense” and that it was “good to have this continuity.”
Hadjar, promoted this season after a successful campaign with Racing Bulls, returns to the track this weekend in Baku after missing the last three races due to a wrist injury. Verstappen said he is happy to continue their collaboration for the remainder of the season and into next year.
The Dutch driver emphasized that this extension allows both the team and Hadjar to fully focus on the upcoming races. He also commented on Red Bull’s current situation against its competitors, noting that the team still needs to improve the overall performance of its car to have a chance at victories this year.
