Red Bull plans to make a decision regarding its 2026 Formula 1 driver line-up before the end of the season, giving Yuki Tsunoda a limited number of races to secure his position.
Isack Hadjar’s impressive performance at the Dutch Grand Prix, including his first F1 podium, has made him a strong contender to replace Tsunoda alongside Max Verstappen next year.
Despite Tsunoda’s sporadic displays of potential, he is under pressure to prove himself in the remaining races.
Red Bull aims for stability by keeping Tsunoda, but the possibility of replacing him with Hadjar seems more likely based on current trends.
Hadjar’s sudden rise to the forefront as a potential driver for Red Bull signifies a significant shift in his prospects within the team.
Red Bull’s decision on the driver line-up is expected around the Mexican GP, with only a few races left in the season influencing the outcome.
