Red Bull has confirmed it will field an unchanged Formula 1 driver line-up in 2027, with Isack Hadjar staying put alongside Max Verstappen. Hadjar stepped up in 2026 after a rookie season at sister team Racing Bulls, and has impressed with his speed in what has historically been a difficult second Red Bull seat. The Frenchman, who is making his return in Azerbaijan this weekend after missing three races through injury, will stay on board for another campaign in 2027 alongside Verstappen, who recently signed a contract extension to 2030.

“We’re very excited to continue our journey with Isack,” said Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies. “Since joining us at the start of the year, he has been superb on and off track, especially considering this is only his second Formula 1 season, which made extending his contract an easy decision.”

Despite sitting out Zandvoort, Monza and Madrid, Hadjar still holds eighth in the standings, boosted by a first Red Bull podium in Monaco to complement his maiden podium in 2025, as well as a streak of seven consecutive top six finishes in what has largely been F1's third or fourth quickest car. “I am really excited to continue with Oracle Red Bull Racing,” the 21-year-old said. “There are so many talented people at the factory, and you’re aware of the privilege of driving for such an incredible team alongside a four-time world champion like Max.”
