Red Bull has officially confirmed that it will retain its current driver lineup for the 2027 Formula 1 season. Isack Hadjar will continue alongside four-time world champion Max Verstappen, signaling the team's full confidence in the young Frenchman. The announcement ends speculation about the second Red Bull seat, which had been a hot topic in the paddock.
Hadjar stepped up to the main team in 2026 after a rookie season with Racing Bulls. Despite the second Red Bull seat historically being a difficult position for many drivers, he has impressed with his speed and adaptability. Now, he is set to return to the track in Azerbaijan this weekend after missing three races due to injury, and has immediately received long-term security.
Full Trust from Red Bull
Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies expressed his delight at continuing the partnership. "We’re very excited to continue our journey with Isack," he said. "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." Mekies also highlighted Hadjar's dedication, always at the factory with his engineers to develop the car, and his eagerness to learn and improve.
From the very first race in Melbourne, Hadjar showed remarkable composure under the pressure of being a Red Bull driver. He has proven he deserves the seat. This is a positive signal for the team's stability as they prepare for the new technical regulations in 2027, including changes to the power unit and shorter race formats.
Impact on Team Stability
By retaining Hadjar and Verstappen, Red Bull ensures continuity in car development ahead of the new regulatory era. Verstappen recently signed a contract extension until 2030, underlining his long-term commitment. The combination of a world champion's experience and a young driver's hunger is expected to keep the team at the front.
For Hadjar, this is a golden opportunity to continue developing without excessive pressure about his future. He can now focus fully on helping the team achieve maximum results, starting with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend. His return to the cockpit after injury will be a test in itself, but the team's full support gives him valuable momentum.
This decision also reaffirms Red Bull's direction of prioritizing continuity and internal development. With a duo that already knows each other well, the team hopes to maximize every opportunity in the highly competitive 2027 season.
