US EditionF1: Isack Hadjar Targets at Least One Race Win After Joining Red Bull
Isack Hadjar, promoted to Red Bull's senior team, aims to secure at least one race win this season amid major technical changes and new engine regulations in Formula One.
- On Thursday, Isack Hadjar was promoted to Red Bull, replacing Yuki Tsunoda as Max Verstappen's teammate while the team revealed its car livery in Detroit, Michigan.
- Having risen through Red Bull's development programme, Hadjar impressed with Racing Bulls and says he started early to adapt, noting the move is not entirely new to him.
- In Detroit, Red Bull unveiled the new car less than two months before the season opens in Melbourne on March 7, with team officials saying test days are vital to optimise the car amid 2026 technical regulations.
- Hadjar arrives with a rookie podium to his name, aiming for a race win this year as Max Verstappen starts with his fourth different teammate since late 2024.
- Red Bull's engine programme with Ford marks a major power-unit change this year, and Hadjar says some elements remain unknown but he benefits from familiar Red Bull mechanics.
