The Racing Bulls team has announced Isack Hadjar as their new main driver for the 2025 season, where he will pair up with Yuki Tsunoda. This confirmation completes next season's grid and marks a new chapter for the Franco-Algerian driver.

• 2024: Runner-up in Formula 2 with Campos Racing, earning four wins and eight podiums; additional F1 tests with Red Bull.

"This is a dream come true. I've been working for this moment since my karting days. I'm ready to learn and give my best on track," said Hadjar, highlighting the importance of Tsunoda's experience as a mentor within the team.

Laurent Mekies, Racing Bulls team principal, pointed out Hadjar's development as a key factor for his promotion to Formula 1. "Isack has shown talent and maturity to compete at the highest level. We believe his inclusion will bring a fresh dynamic to the team."

Peter Bayer, CEO of Racing Bulls, emphasized the value of this promotion within Red Bull's junior program. "This move reaffirms our commitment to developing young talents and our mission to prepare the best drivers for the future."
