Hadjar to remain Verstappen's Red Bull team-mate for 2027

Red Bull will enter the 2027 Formula 1 season with the same driver pairing as this year, confirming Isack Hadjar will partner Max Verstappen for another campaign, according to Autosport.

The decision brings continuity to a seat that has proved troublesome for a succession of drivers tasked with lining up alongside Verstappen in recent seasons.

Hadjar was promoted to the senior Red Bull team for 2026 having spent his rookie season at sister outfit Racing Bulls, and has since built a reputation for pace in a car and role that have undone others before him.

Autosport reports that his performances this year have been enough to convince Red Bull to stick with him rather than look elsewhere for 2027, extending what has so far been a smooth transition from the junior team.

The Frenchman is set to return to action this weekend at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where attention will turn back to the current championship battle even as his longer-term future at the team is now settled.

Confirmation of an unchanged line-up removes one of the more closely watched driver-market questions heading into the 2027 season, with Red Bull opting for stability around Verstappen rather than a reshuffle.

Further detail on the timing and terms of the announcement, along with reaction from within the team, is expected to follow as the Azerbaijan weekend gets under way.
