Hamilton warns Red Bull over Hadjar promotion
Lewis Hamilton, a Formula 1 legend, has expressed concerns to Red Bull about the promotion of Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls to the main team potentially not working out well. The confirmation that Hadjar will join Max Verstappen in 2026 left Yuki Tsunoda without a full-time F1 seat, being relegated to a test and reserve driver role. Red Bull has a history of drivers excelling at the junior team but struggling at the main team, as seen with Sergio Perez and Liam Lawson. Hamilton fears Hadjar could face a similar fate if he doesn’t perform up to expectations in 2026. He hopes for changes at Red Bull to provide Hadjar with the necessary support and environment to succeed at the top level of motorsport.
