Isack Hadjar is to be promoted from Racing Bulls to the full Red Bull team for the 2026 F1 season, according to reports.
Isack Hadjar is reportedly set to be promoted from Racing Bulls to the full Red Bull team for the 2026 Formula 1 season.
The 20-year-old’s impressive performances in his debut season have earned him this promotion, with a maiden podium at the Dutch Grand Prix and currently sitting ninth in the Drivers’ standings.
Hadjar’s success has led to speculation that he will partner Max Verstappen in the much-maligned second seat at Red Bull for 2026.
Meanwhile, Arvid Lindblad is expected to make his debut with Racing Bulls following Hadjar’s promotion to Red Bull, leaving Yuki Tsunoda without a clear path for next season.
Lindblad, a Red Bull junior driver currently in Formula 2, is set to take Hadjar’s place alongside Liam Lawson in the team.
This news comes as a blow to Tsunoda, who had been vying for the seat and now faces uncertainty about his future in Formula 1.
