Hadjar’s Red Bull F1 salary will be FIVE times bigger
According to French media, Isack Hadjar will earn five times more at Red Bull than his current rookie F1 contract at Racing Bulls.
For the 2026 season, Hadjar has been promoted to the main Red Bull team, where he will partner with Max Verstappen, a four-time champion.
Despite the challenges of the second Red Bull seat in recent years, there is optimism that the 21-year-old Hadjar, with his impressive rookie season in 2025, can fulfill the role successfully.
Having scored 51 points in 23 events, Hadjar is ahead of his Red Bull teammates Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda in the drivers’ championship standings.
Reportedly, Hadjar will earn €6.6million (£5.8million) at Red Bull in 2026, a significant increase from his 2025 salary at Racing Bulls.
Although his earnings are still lower than those of Verstappen and Hamilton, the raise places Hadjar among experienced drivers like Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Ocon in terms of salary.
