Hadjar wishes F1 season was longer despite Red Bull progress

Isack Hadjar has said he is sad the Formula 1 season is nearing its end, insisting he still feels he has a lot left in the tank. In his first season with Red Bull he has taken three podiums alongside Max Verstappen, but missed the Dutch, Italian and Spanish Grands Prix after a wrist injury sustained during the summer break.

Hadjar rejected the idea that his lay-off had disrupted his momentum, saying he returned just as the car made a step forward. He also noted that Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were cancelled, leaving him with fewer races than he would have liked this year.

Red Bull has enjoyed a strong run since his return, with Verstappen winning several races. Hadjar said the team's development of the RB22 has left him hopeful for 2027.
