Isack Hadjar is tipped to be a future Red Bull driver, although a significant challenge awaits him if he partners Max Verstappen.
Isack Hadjar highlighted that Max Verstappen’s aggressive driving style at the beginning of each Grand Prix puts any teammate on the defensive right away. The Racing Bulls driver’s strong performance in his debut season has sparked talks of a potential promotion for the next year. Hadjar’s consistent presence in Q3 and scoring points has caught the eye of Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko. Some argue that Racing Bulls have a superior car this season compared to their sister team, resulting in impressive performances from Hadjar and Liam Lawson. McLaren’s CEO Zak Brown even suggested that Red Bull would lag behind Racing Bulls if not for Verstappen. In response to Brown’s remark, Hadjar disagreed, emphasizing Verstappen’s exceptional speed and ability to push his car to the limit, particularly in high-speed corners. Hadjar acknowledged that although the Red Bull car may be faster, it’s also more challenging to fully utilize its potential.
