Isack Hadjar admitted it is pleasing to race with less pressure since Helmut Marko revealed that he will race in F1 with the Red Bull conglomerate in 2026.
Isack Hadjar expressed his satisfaction in racing with less pressure after Helmut Marko announced his Formula 1 debut with the Red Bull conglomerate in 2026. Marko revealed in mid-September that two Red Bull drivers have signed contracts for the 2026 season, with Max Verstappen confirmed to be there until 2028. Hadjar has secured his future within the Red Bull stable, but it’s unclear which seat he will occupy in the upcoming season. Rumors suggest Arvid Lindblad might join Racing Bulls, potentially leaving Liam Lawson or Yuki Tsunoda out of the team. Despite the relief of having his position assured, Hadjar admitted he thrives on pressure and racing without it is a new challenge. His impressive rookie season includes consistently outperforming his teammates and achieving a maiden podium. Hadjar remains committed to pushing hard and taking risks in the final races of his debut year, regardless of his secured F1 seat.
