Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar has shared that he doesn’t feel prepared for a driving role at Red Bull’s main Formula 1 team yet, preferring to continue his progress at the junior side for now. Despite being a standout driver in the 2025 F1 season and potentially in line for a Red Bull promotion in the future, he believes it’s beneficial to gain more experience before the leap. With possibilities of an earlier debut due to lead driver Max Verstappen’s situation, Hadjar remains focused on his current development.
The 22-year-old expressed his contentment with his current situation ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, emphasizing the enjoyment and learning opportunities in his current car. Reflecting on the challenges faced by his Racing Bulls teammates who moved up prematurely, Hadjar values the natural progression within the Red Bull Junior program. He acknowledged the need for more experience with tricky cars and technical aspects before feeling fully prepared for the next career step. In summary, he believes that while raw speed is essential, there is more to learn beyond that to excel in Formula 1.
