Lewis Hamilton has expressed concern over Isack Hadjar’s F1 future following his promotion to Red Bull, confirmed on Tuesday for the 2026 season. Hadjar impressed during his rookie campaign, earning a maiden podium and the best average qualifying result outside of the top four teams. Despite confidence in adapting to Red Bull, Hamilton worries about the challenging environment, citing past driver struggles partnering with Verstappen. Yuki Tsunoda loses his race seat for next year to make room for Hadjar, reflecting a trend of drivers struggling in the Red Bull environment. Hamilton hopes for changes to provide Tsunoda with the right support in his new role as reserve driver.
