This seemed obvious for a few weeks and the person concerned has just confirmed the information. It is indeed Isack Hadjar who will be the next driver from the Red Bull galaxy to arrive in F1. The only question is when. Knowing that if Sergio Perez stays next season, as a persistent rumor suggests, he will have to wait one more season.
A third Frenchman on the F1 grid, is it coming soon!?
Concretely, just a few days ago, Isack Hadjar was very well positioned to recover the place of one of the Racing Bulls drivers. Because a departure of Sergio Perez, as desired by Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, would have offered a place, most likely, to Liam Lawson. Even, to Yuki Tsunoda, a less credible lead however. Unfortunately for the tricolor, big sponsors were added to the equation, in the clan of the Mexican driver. So his contract for 2025 should be honored…
However, it will expire at the end of 2025. Knowing that Yuki Tsunoda wants Honda (leaving for Aston Martin Racing, by 2026) and that he or his current teammate will naturally covet Sergio Perez's place. And then, in the meantime, Red Bull may very well also decide to part ways with one of its young talents, as happens regularly. In addition, Helmut Marko particularly believes in Hadjar. Which means that, sooner or later, the Austrian will ensure that he has a seat in F1.

It is with our colleagues from Motorsport that the person concerned confirmed that he was the next driver on the list of Red Bull Racing, as part of a promotion to F1. In addition, he even admitted to preparing for “next year”…
“I would say my chances are there, at least. Obviously, this is not up to me. There's a lot going on at Racing Bulls and Red Bull, anything can happen. And obviously, II'm next on the list. It's just a fact. I don’t know what decisions they’re going to make, but anyway, I’m here and I’m trying to be ready for next year.”
It also remains to be determined whether he remains on the sidelines next year, where Hadjar will drive. With this need not to be forgotten, beyond the results, expected to be excellent by one's bosses, whatever the category attended. Especially since nothing says that, within a few months, another driver from this sector will not emerge, at the risk of overshadowing Isack…
