Isack Hadjar has a chance to claim a full-time F1 race seat with RB, Christian Hor💃ner insists.

The second seat at Red Bull’s sister team🍸 - alongside Yuki Tsunoda - remains up for grabs, with no decis🅘ion yet taken on Daniel Ricciardo’s future.

Red Bull’s deep pool of talent inc💧ludes Liam Lawson, who impressively deputised f🦂or Ricciardo at AlphaTauri last year.

But Hadjar has now pushed himself closer to the f🙈ront of the queue.

The 19-year-old Frenchman drove🎃 for RB last Friday in FP1 at Silverstone.

Then on Su📖nday, he drove impressively from pole to victory in the Formula 2 feature race.

Hadjar now leads🤪 the F2 championship after edging out the likes of Ollie Bearman 🐷(who will join Haas next year).

Red Bull team pri♊ncipal was asked if Hadjar has any chance of landing an F1 ๊seat in 2025.

“He’s do🌞ing a good job,” Horner said. “He had a good we✱ekend.

“Good to see both Isack and A🌸rvid 🌱Lindblad win the Formula 3 race this morning, two outstanding talents that are coming through.

“🍰Again he’s making a strong case for himself for next year, which is why we’re not in any rush to finalise seats in the sister team.”

Questioned whether Hadjar is a r🦹ealistic option for the second RB seat, Horner answered: “🍨There’s always a chance.”

Hadjar’s Silverstone victory was his third F2 feature ra🎶ce win of 2024.

He has previously said about his ascent: "I was always interested in cars but not pa༒rticularly the racing, because of the movie ‘Cars’.

“My grandparents and parents are mainly docto❀rs or physicists so they have nothing to do with motorsport but my dad always watched F1, that’s it really.

“When I gre📖w up I wanted to do go-karts as I started watching F1 at the age of 6 so my parents bought me one when I was 7!

“This love for racing just came by myself.

"My ambition is to be F1 champion, my racing heroes are Ayrton 🀅Senna and Lewis Hamilton.”
