Isack Hadjar's Podium Finish at F1 Dutch GP: A Ticket to a Spot at Red Bull - Bincang Bincang Mobil

Isack Hadjar secured an impressive third-place finish at the Formula 1 Dutch GP on August 31, 2025. The rookie driver's podium finish was a result of Lando Norris's unfortunate exit from the race after his McLaren car suffered a critical issue. Norris was initially in second place, behind his teammate Oscar Piastri, but had to pull over due to a smoky car. Max Verstappen, who was in third place, took advantage of the situation and climbed up to the top spot, while Hadjar moved up to second and eventually secured the coveted third position. This finish was a testament to the high level of competition in the world of Formula 1 and the challenging fight for a spot at Red Bull Racing.

Hadjar, a 20-year-old French driver, started the race from fourth place on the grid, which was also his best qualifying position. The podium finish was seen as a 'golden ticket' for Hadjar to potentially replace Yuki Tsunoda, who could not muster a top-ten finish and was left in ninth place. In the championship standings, Hadjar is ranked 10th with 37 points, a significant lead over his teammate Liam Lawson (20 points) and Tsunoda (12 points) who is currently 19th.

In a recent interview, Hadjar expressed his excitement about the achievement, stating, 'It feels amazing. Max is someone I've admired since my junior days.' Hadjar also mentioned that he hopes to achieve more of such podium finishes in the future. With the recent changes in the team hierarchy, where Laurent Mekies, Hadjar's former team principal, has taken over as the head of Red Bull Racing, there is a possibility that Hadjar could be promoted to a junior driver role alongside Verstappen.
