F1 Beyond The Grid: Isack Hadjar and Laurent Mekies - 2026 Interview
In this episode of the F1 Beyond The Grid podcast, Isack Hadjar sits down with Tom Clarkson to reflect on a debut Red Bull season full of ups and downs.
The Frenchman discusses his first podium with the team in Monaco, the wrist injury that forced him to miss three races, and what his new contract for 2027 means to him.
Hadjar also explains why he has been surprising himself this year and describes what it is like sharing a garage with Max Verstappen, along with his goals for the remainder of the season and beyond.
Red Bull Team Principal Laurent Mekies joins the conversation to outline the team's approach to Hadjar's recovery, the reasoning behind extending his deal, and whether Red Bull now has the pieces in place to challenge for World Championships again.
