Isack Hadjar will replace Yuki Tsunoda as the second Red Bull competitor alongside Max Verstappen for the 2026 F1 season, the team announced Tuesday.
Hadjar, 21, is wrapping up a moderately successful rookie season for Racing Bulls, Red Bull's sister team. He enters the final race of the season this week in Abu Dhabi in 10th place in the World Drivers' Championship standings.
Since crashing out during the formation lap in his F1 debut in Australia, he's tallied points in 11 races this season and earned his first career podium with a third-place finish in the Dutch Grand Prix Aug. 31.
Tsunoda, meanwhile, is 15th in the WDC standings, well behind teammate Verstappen, who moved into second place last weekend in Qatar and remains in contention for his fifth straight F1 championship.
