Red Bull’s second driver seat has been a revolving door for years, with past drivers like Lawson, Tsunoda, Gasly, Albon, and Perez all struggling to match Verstappen’s pace — until now. Enter Isack Hadjar, who’s defied expectations this season, consistently closing the gap to Verstappen in qualifying and stepping up when needed. His standout performances — including podiums in Australia and Monaco, and a dramatic rise from 21st to 6th at Spa despite an engine penalty — have earned him high praise from team principal Laurent Mekies. With top-eight finishes and proven resilience under pressure, Hadjar is now the frontrunner to keep the Red Bull seat next year — proving that sometimes, the right driver can turn chaos into consistency.
