Hadjar to Partner Verstappen at Red Bull for F1 2027
The Frenchman earned the extension after scoring 71 points and a Monaco podium in his second Formula 1 season.
- On Wednesday, Red Bull confirmed an unchanged Formula line-up for 2027, retaining Isack Hadjar alongside Max Verstappen as the Frenchman prepares to return at this week's Azerbaijan Grand Prix following a wrist injury.
- Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies praised Hadjar's "superb on and off track" performance since his 2026 promotion from Racing Bulls, noting the 21-year-old "handled the step up with remarkable composure" and justifying the contract extension.
- Hadjar holds eighth in the standings, aided by a podium at the Monaco Grand Prix and consistent top-six finishes in his last seven races, despite missing three rounds through injury.
- This stability ensures Verstappen keeps the same teammate for a second consecutive season, a milestone not achieved since Sergio Perez was dropped at the end of 2024, ending speculation over Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad.
- With Verstappen recently signed to 2030, the extension cements Red Bull's senior roster, while Racing Bulls has yet to confirm its 2027 driver line-up, leaving Nikola Tsolov and incumbents awaiting a decision.
