First Podium Could Be a Glimpse of the Future for Hadjar

Isack Hadjar became the youngest French driver to podium in Formula 1 at age 20, benefiting from Lando Norris's late mechanical failure to secure third place.

  • On August 31, 2025, Racing Bulls Formula One driver Isack Hadjar recorded his first F1 podium by finishing third at the Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Zandvoort alongside Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen.
  • Late in the race, Lando Norris suffered a suspected oil leak on his MCL39, forcing retirement and promoting Isack Hadjar from P4 to P3.
  • On Saturday, Isack Hadjar set a rapid qualifying lap of 1:09.208 and started the race in P4, maintaining that position with composure; he said, `What was most surprising for me was keeping that fourth place for the whole race`.
  • Hadjar's result marks a career milestone as the youngest French podium finisher at age 20 years, 337 days and the fifth-youngest driver in F1 history, elevating him to 13th place in the driver standings with 22 points.
  • The podium cements Hadjar as a rising prospect for Racing Bulls, positioning him as a driver to watch and enhancing his Rookie of the Year contention despite the team's struggles in recent years.
