Isack Hadjar, a Frenchman, is currently in contention for the Formula 2 title, driving for Campos and close behind series leader Gabriel Bortoleto. He is also competing with Williams protege Franco Colapinto for a possible position in the Red Bull/RB F1 set-up. With uncertainty surrounding Sergio Perez’s Red Bull future, there might be an available seat alongside Max Verstappen, Liam Lawson, and Yuki Tsunoda. Hadjar expressed optimism regarding his chances for a 2025 F1 drive, acknowledging the unpredictability of decisions at Red Bull Racing. The competitive F2 field of 2024, including talents like Colapinto, Oliver Bearman, Bortoleto, Antonelli, and Doohan, showcases the strength of the emerging generation.
