Hadjar admet avoir appréhendé le deuxième baquet de Red Bull avant sa promotion

Isack Hadjar a admis avoir éprouvé des inquiétudes initiales concernant l'instabilité du deuxième baquet chez Red Bull avant sa promotion pour faire équipe avec Max Verstappen en 2026, bien qu'il ait visé ce poste dès le début. La saison de rookie du pilote de 21 ans chez Racing Bulls—marquée par 51 points, une 12e place au championnat et un podium au Grand Prix des Pays-Bas—lui a permis d'obtenir le siège de Milton Keynes, dans un contexte de rumeurs incluant le soutien d'anciens pilotes Red Bull.

Hadjar a impressionné lors de ses débuts en F1 en 2025 avec Racing Bulls, notamment grâce à un podium à Zandvoort. S'exprimant auprès de la F1 après avoir sécurisé le volant chez Red Bull—soutenu précédemment par d'anciens coéquipiers comme Alex Albon et Sergio Perez—il a révélé avoir apprécié la pression malgré un temps de roulage limité en pré-saison et un stress initial.

'J'ai tout de suite trouvé le rythme', a déclaré Hadjar. 'Je savais que si je faisais le travail naturellement, j'obtiendrais le baquet, la promotion.'

Ce transfert le place aux côtés du quadruple champion Verstappen pour 2026, un rôle marqué par une instabilité récente mais facilité par les changements de réglementation à venir.
