Isack Hadjar has a chance to claim a full-time 📖F1 race seat with RB, Christian Horꦫner insists.

The second seat at Red Bull’s sister team - alongside Yuki Tsunoda - remains up for grabs,ꦆ with no decision yet taken on Daniel Ricciardo’s future.

Red Bull’s deep pool o♉f talent includ♔es Liam Lawson, who impressively deputised for Ricciardo at AlphaTauri last year.

But Hadjar has now pushed himself closer to the front of the queu꧋e.

The 19-year-old 🐷Frenchman drove for RB last Friday in FP1 at Silverstone.

The🗹n on Sunday, he drove impressively from pole to victory in the Formula 2 feature race.

Hadjar now leads the F2 championship after🐠 edging out the likes of Ollie Bearman🦋 (who will join Haas next year).

“He’s doingౠ a good job,” Horner said. “He had a good weekend.

“Good to see both Isack and Arvid Lindblad win the Formula 3 race this morning, two outstanding talents that are coming throuꩵgh.

“Again he’s making a strong case for himself for next year, which is why we’re not in any r🐼ush to finalise seats in the sister team.”

Questioned whether Hadjar is a realistic option for the second RB seat, Horn🎶er answered: “There’s always a chance.”

Hadjar’s Silverstone victory was his third F2 feature race💖 win of 2024.

He has pre♌viously said about his ascent: "I was always interested in cars but not particularly the racing, because of the 𝓀movie ‘Cars’.

“My grandparent♐s and parents are mainly doctors or physicists so they have nothing to do with motorsport but my dad always watched F1, that’s it really.

“When I grew up I wanted to do go-karts as I started watching F1 at the age of 6 🐬so my parents bought me one when I was 7🍎!

“This love for racing just came by myself.

"My ambi🔴tion is to be F1 cha🦂mpion, my racing heroes are Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton.”
