Azerbaijan Grand Prix<\/a>, coinciding with the news of his contract.<\/p>\n\u201cI am really excited to continue with Oracle Red Bull Racing,” said Hadjar. “I came to this team eight months ago and immediately understood the scale and ambition of this organisation.<\/p>\n
“There are so many talented people at the factory, and you\u2019re aware of the privilege of driving for such an incredible team alongside a four-time World Champion like Max [Verstappen].<\/p>\n
“From the moment I signed, I set out to dedicate myself to the team, and with the support of Laurent [Mekies] and everyone in Milton Keynes, I\u2019ve been able to justify the faith they\u2019ve had in me.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m constantly looking to listen, learn and push myself further every single day, which only makes me more excited about what lies ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Team Principal Mekies added: \u201cWe\u2019re very excited to continue our journey with Isack. 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.<\/p>\n
“From the very beginning, Isack immersed himself in the team, spending every minute at the factory with his engineers to develop the car, always eager to learn and improve.<\/p>\n
“You could see from that first weekend in Melbourne that he handled the step up with remarkable composure and had earned his place in this seat.<\/p>\n
“The period since his injury has been a difficult one for Isack, but this extension is a testament to how much we believe in him and we can\u2019t wait to see him back out on track.<\/p>\n
“We still have a lot we want to achieve this season, but it’s a great feeling to know that the drivers, engineers and everyone back at the factory are all heading in the same direction, committed and together.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Red Bull have announced that Isack Hadjar will remain with the team for the 2027 season after he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":609106,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-609105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609105\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
