Isack Hadjar believes the likes of Oliver Bearman and Franco Colapinto have shown that “if you’re fast, you’re fast” and that experience is no longer the be-all and end-all for F1 graduates.
Isack Hadjar believes that the new generation of drivers reaching F1 is proving that lack of experience is not as big of an issue as it used to be. As the F2 driver currently ranked second in the championship, he is also the reserve driver for Red Bull and RB after Liam Lawson moved up to a race seat. Hadjar is eyeing a full-time F1 drive for himself and points to the successful performances of Oliver Bearman and Franco Colapinto as examples of the talent in the current support paddock. He emphasizes that speed is what matters most, showing that even drivers with less experience can challenge those with more years in the sport. Despite advancements in tools and testing programs, Hadjar acknowledges the difference between drivers with some F1 experience and those who have yet to have their chance in the cockpit. He highlights the importance of simulator training, like the one provided by Red Bull, as a crucial tool for adaptation to the realities of F1 driving.
