Will there be a third French driver on the grid in 2025? Currently 2nd in Formula 2, Isack Hadjar is in fact a candidate for a seat at Racing Bulls in 2025. Appointed official reserve driver of the Faenza team since the United States Grand Prix, the Ile-de-France native also had a nice meeting of Formula 2 in Qatar, taking 2nd place in the main race and coming back to 0.5 points behind championship leader Gabriel Bortoleto.
One week before the last round contested in Abu Dhabi, where he will drive Max Verstappen's Red Bull in Free Practice 1 in F1, Isack seems to be getting a little closer every day to a starting place on the grid in 2025. F2 driver Campos would even hold the rope to become Yuki Tsunoda's next teammate at Racing Bulls, since Liam Lawson is tipped to become Max Verstappen's new garage neighbor next year in Team A, according to the English press.
Information that AUTOhebdo is able to confirm. Note, however, that the final decision should be taken at the beginning of next week by the Red Bull board, more precisely between the end of the Grand Prix and the start of the rookie tests. If this were to be confirmed, Hadjar would become the first Red Bull driver since Yuki Tsunoda in 2021 to go directly to F1. Note that the Ile-de-France resident's accession would not be conditional on obtaining the title, even if such success would give even more weight to his candidacy.
