PARIS: French-Algerian driver Isack Hadjar will race for Red Bull-owned RB alongside Yuki Tsunoda next season, the Formula One team said today.
Formula Two runner-up Hadjar takes the place of New Zealander Liam Lawson, confirmed yesterday as teammate to four-time world champion Max Verstappen at the main Red Bull team.
&#8220;The journey from karting through the ranks in single-seaters, to now being in Formula One is the moment I&#8217;ve been working towards my whole life, it is the dream,&#8221; Hadjar said in a statement.
&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m stepping into a whole new universe, driving a much faster car and racing with the best drivers in the world. It&#8217;ll be a huge learning curve but I&#8217;m ready to work hard and do the best I can for the team.&#8221;
Lawson, 22, has replaced Mexican Sergio Perez, whose dramatic collapse in form this season led to him being dropped despite having a contract for next year.
Hadjar will be the third French driver on the 20-car starting grid next season, along with Alpine&#8217;s Pierre Gasly and Haas&#8217;s Esteban Ocon.
