In this way, you will follow the steps of Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, and will become the 19th driver to be promoted to Formula 1 since the Red Bull Junior Programme, which began in 2001.

I am very excited to take on my new role at Racing Bulls, this is very important to memy family and all the people who have believed in me from the beginning. The journey from karting “Through the single-seater categories until now, being in Formula 1 is the moment I have been working for all my life, it is the dream,” said the French driver. “I feel like I’m entering a completely new universe, driving a much faster car and competing with the best in the world. It will be a big learning curve, but I am ready to work hard and do my best I can for the team. I hope to work and learn from Yuki, I have always admired him, he went through the Red Bull Junior Program, like me, and we have shared a similar path in F1. “He has a lot of experience and it will be good to learn from him,” he added.

Hadjar was born 20 years ago in Paris, is of Algerian descent and has been a member of the Red Bull junior team since 2022. For him, a Formula 1 car will not be new: he has already been behind the wheel of a Alpha Tauri -now renamed RB- in the initial free practice session of the Mexican Grand Prix in 2023. And he had a second experience this year, driving the car of “Checo Pérez” at Silverstone. There he coincided with Colapinto, when the Argentine officially drove a Williams for the first time. In that rookie competition, Hadjar turned 20 hundredths slower than Colapinto.

Thursday Red Bull made it official that Lawson is who replace “Checo” Pérez in the team, after four years of relationship between the Mexican and the Austrian team. “After four successful seasons together and after the closure of the longest Formula 1 season in history, Sergio Pérez and Oracle Red Bull Racing have reached an agreement to take different paths in 2025″, Red Bull explained in its text. Pérez joined Red Bull in 2021 and helped the team win two constructors’ titles.

The Mexican managed to finish second in the 2023 World Cup, behind his Dutch teammate Max Verstappen but this year he had a much more discreet performance and could only finish eighth, despite having started the season very well, with four podiums in the first five races.
