ISACK HADJAR'S FIRST RED BULL PODIUM: A MONACO MOMENT TO REMEMBER
JUN 07, 2026
There are circuits, and then there is Monaco. For any driver, a podium finish in the Principality carries a weight that few other results can match. For Isack Hadjar, the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix delivered exactly that — his first podium with Oracle Red Bull Racing, on one of the most celebrated stages in the sport.
The weekend started with adversity. A crash in FP1 disrupted his preparation and left him with ground to recover before qualifying. What followed was a measured, composed response: session by session, Hadjar rebuilt his pace and his confidence, ultimately lining up fifth on the grid.
From there, he drove with the maturity of someone well beyond his 21 years. Managing pressure, holding position through a demanding and unpredictable race, he crossed the line in third — a result that reflects both his skill and his resilience under genuine difficulty.
It is his second career podium in Formula 1, and his first wearing Red Bull colours. In Monaco, that distinction means everything.
