The Wild Card That Sticks
Isack Hadjar doesn’t feel like your average Red Bull junior. He’s not icy. He’s not a media machine. He laughs, he jokes, he’s visibly having fun — and then he gets in the car and drives like he’s been doing it for 20 years.
From the start, he showed raw pace. Aggressive overtakes. No fear in wheel-to-wheel fights. He raced with confidence, but not arrogance — and that made people watch. And when he got his F1 chance with Racing Bulls, he didn’t flinch.
Hadjar’s been quick immediately, pushing Lawson, embarrassing more senior drivers on Saturdays, and proving he belongs. He still makes rookie mistakes — but even those are wrapped in boldness. He’s not passive. He’s not waiting. He’s racing. And that alone makes him a problem for anyone hoping to coast.
