Could Red Bull’s latest teenage starlet secure a 2025 RB seat?
"He’﷽s making a strong case for himself for next year"

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.”
