Red Bull has confirmed Isack Hadjar will remain with the team for the 2027 Formula 1 season, continuing alongside Max Verstappen. The announcement extends Hadjar’s stay for another year, though Red Bull has not disclosed the contract’s terms.

Hadjar joined Red Bull at the start of this season after racing for Racing Bulls in 2025. Team principal Laurent Mekies said the team was excited to continue its relationship with the driver and praised his work since joining.
