RED BULL’S NEW ERA: ISACK HADJAR JOINS MAX VERSTAPPEN FOR MASSIVE 2026 SEASON
Isack Hadjar replaces Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull for 2026. Discover why Hadjar admires Verstappen’s "mad" hunger for victory.
Isack Hadjar, Red Bull’s newest signing, can’t help but admire Max Verstappen’s attitude—especially how fired up he gets when things don’t go his way. Hadjar actually finds it impressive, not annoying. He’s about to team up with the four-time Formula 1 champion in 2026, and you can tell he’s pumped for it.
Red Bull didn’t have the best season with Yuki Tsunoda, so they’re shaking things up for 2026 by bringing Hadjar into the main squad. He’ll line up alongside Verstappen, who’s coming off a tough title fight—he only missed his fifth world championship by two points, losing out to Lando Norris in a much-improved McLaren. Even with big technical changes coming in 2026, Verstappen’s still the guy everyone expects to be right in the championship battle.
Hadjar points out something interesting about Verstappen. A lot of world champions slow down after they’ve hit the top, but not Max—he still has that fire. “What I find really impressive with Max is that, after four world championships, he’s still very hungry, and he gets really mad when things don’t go his way because he always wants to win,” Hadjar told the F1 website. “I don’t think every champion can do that. Once you’ve passed a certain level, you might slow down a little, but he seems to be starting just like I am, so it’s really impressive.”
Hadjar earned his Red Bull seat after a strong rookie year with Racing Bulls in 2025, where he even landed a podium. Now, looking ahead to his new adventure, he’s got two big things on his mind. “Honestly, there are two things I’m excited about. First, being with a world champion team—when I was a kid watching Formula 1, I saw Vettel win all those races for Red Bull. And second, being teammates with Max, just to see what it’s like to go up against the best in the world. That’s really exciting.”
He’s not putting any pressure on himself, though. “I have no expectations at all because everyone’s starting from scratch,” he says. “So yeah, the work’s about to begin. I’m really looking forward to January and February, working with the team, and getting to know everyone. It’s going to be crucial to try and get ahead a bit.”
FRED VASSEUR SLAMS "ENOUGH WITH THIS STORY" OVER LEWIS HAMILTON’S ENGINEER DRAMA
Lewis Hamilton calls engineer change "detrimental." Get the latest on Carlo Santi, Cedric Michel-Grosjean, and Vasseur's defense.
Lewis Hamilton heads into his second season with Ferrari, but he still doesn’t have a new race engineer lined up. Team boss Fred Vasseur doesn’t seem too worried, though. He brushed off the drama around Hamilton’s situation, saying it’s not really a big deal.
Last year, Hamilton worked alongside Ricardo Adami during his debut season with Ferrari, but they’ve already parted ways ahead of the 2026 season. Even though the new season’s just a couple of weeks away, Ferrari hasn’t named a permanent replacement.
People questioned how well Hamilton and Adami actually communicated last season, especially when Hamilton’s frustration came through on team radio. Now, with Hamilton needing to build a new working relationship, Vasseur insists it’s not creating any bad vibes.
“That’s not exactly what’s happening,” Vasseur told reporters, including those from RacingNews365. “The teamwork between Lewis and everyone on the pit wall is really strong. He’s confident, he’s open, and honestly, I feel good about where things stand. The whole goal is just to keep getting better, day by day. If there’s something to improve, I’ll push for it, but Lewis is in a great mindset.”
During pre-season testing, Hamilton teamed up with Carlo Santi, who used to engineer for Kimi Raikkonen. Meanwhile, rumours are swirling that Ferrari wants to hire Cedric Michel-Grosjean, who just left McLaren, to take over as Hamilton’s race engineer. But Vasseur is clearly tired of the speculation.
When someone brought it up yet again, he cut them off. “Please, enough with this story,” he said. “Look around the paddock. Out of 22 cars, you’ll see six or seven new engineers every year; the same goes for team principals. Honestly, I’m probably the oldest one here, along with Toto Wolff. Teams swap out three or four team principals a year, and it’s not the end of the world.
“There are about 1,500 people in the team now. It’s never just about one race engineer. The person on the pit wall leads a whole group working on the car, so it’s not about individuals. In Formula 1, it’s always about the team. It never comes down to just one person.”
CHARLES LECLERC WARNS F1 OVERTAKING IS "EXTREMELY DIFFICULT" UNDER NEW 2026 REGULATIONS
Charles Leclerc and Esteban Ocon flagged "difficult" passing in 2026 testing. Discover why the 50/50 power split is a strategic nightmare.
Charles Leclerc isn’t sugarcoating it: overtaking looks like a real challenge under the new regulations, and the cost of trying is way higher than before.
Max Verstappen kicked off the complaints about the rules, since now so much depends on how well drivers handle their battery levels. The big change is the 50/50 power split between the internal combustion engine and the battery. That’s forced drivers to rethink everything; they’re saving battery instead of just going flat out for speed.
We’ve just come out of an era where ground effect cars made overtaking tough because of all the dirty air, and honestly, it doesn’t sound like things are getting any easier. No one’s raced for points yet, but after testing in Bahrain, the mood in the paddock isn’t exactly upbeat.
Esteban Ocon was quick to sound the alarm. After following a few cars in testing, he noticed he lost a lot of front grip, maybe even more than last year. He tried the overtake mode but didn’t want to jump to conclusions too soon. Still, his gut feeling? Passing looks tough.
Leclerc agrees. He says he’s on the same page as the other drivers. Right now, overtaking is extremely hard. Maybe with time, as everyone learns how to manage these situations, it’ll get better. But at the moment, every overtake comes at a much steeper battery cost than before. That means even if you pull off a move, getting away from the car behind isn’t as simple as it was last year. It’s just tricky.
When asked about the new rules overall, Leclerc isn’t quite as downbeat as Verstappen, but he admits something’s missing. He’s always loved the aggressive, attacking style of the older F1 cars, and he feels like there’s less of that now. The changes are huge; everything feels completely different from what he’s known in his career. But he does see progress. The cars are getting better, and everyone’s still learning, trying to figure out all the new systems and how to squeeze out the best performance. There’s a lot of work ahead, but things are moving in the right direction.
