Isack Hadjar Praises Max Verstappen’s Mentorship as Red Bull Rookie Finds Success

French driver Isack Hadjar, 21, highlighted the supportive relationship he has with four‑time champion Max Verstappen while completing his second season with Red Bull Racing. Hadjar said Verstappen "doesn't keep anything back because he knows how strong he is" and readily offers advice when asked, noting the openness helps him handle the pressure of the team’s lead seat.

Hadjar reflected on his early performances, describing a disappointing weekend at the Miami Grand Prix but celebrating his first podium in Monaco, which was later stripped by the FIA. He acknowledged recurring small mistakes typical of a young driver and expressed confidence that with a more competitive car he could contend for the world title in the future.
