Hadjar to partner Verstappen at Red Bull in 2026 as Tsunoda loses F1 seat

MILTON KEYNES, England (AP) — Isack Hadjar will team up with his childhood hero Max Verstappen at Red Bull next year after an impressive rookie season, while Yuki Tsunoda loses his Formula 1 seat following a tough season.

Also, Arvid Lindblad will debut for Racing Bulls.

French driver Hadjar is rewarded for a debut campaign which has seen him regularly outpace teammate Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls. The highlight so far was Hadjar’s third-place finish at the Dutch Grand Prix, which made him the fifth youngest podium finisher in F1 history.
