Isack Hadjar has been handed a second season with Red Bull after the French driver was confirmed as Max Verstappen's team-mate for 2027.
Hadjar, 21, is back in his Red Bull cockpit for Saturday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix after missing the last three rounds with a wrist injury.
The French driver joins a rare breed to be rewarded with a follow-up campaign alongside four-time world champion Verstappen at the notoriously ruthless Red Bull team.
Hadjar has scored 71 points so far, with a best finish of third in Monaco in June.
"I am really excited to continue with Red Bull Racing," he said. "I came to this team eight months ago and immediately understood the scale and ambition of this organisation.
"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.
"From the moment I signed, I set out to dedicate myself to the team, and with the support of (Red Bull team principal) Laurent (Mekies) and everyone in Milton Keynes, I’ve been able to justify the faith they’ve had in me.
"I’m constantly looking to listen, learn and push myself further every single day, which only makes me more excited about what lies ahead."
