Hadjar's decision postponed, Red Bull supports 2027 prospect.

      Red Bull will wait until Wednesday to determine if Isack Hadjar is fit to race at Monza, while Liam Lawson is reportedly already preparing in case another substitution is needed. Hadjar missed the Zandvoort race due to a wrist fracture but has reported consistent progress. Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda remain on standby if the French driver is unable to compete. Despite this uncertainty, Hadjar’s prospects with Red Bull seem much brighter. According to Auto Motor und Sport’s Emily Madic, the team is pleased with the 21-year-old and expects him to receive a contract extension through 2027. "Sources within the Red Bull camp suggest that they are content with teammate Hadjar and anticipate a contract extension soon." "While several drivers before him struggled at Red Bull, the young Frenchman has performed well as Max Verstappen’s partner so far." The report also indicates that Laurent Mekies has eased Red Bull’s traditional approach to the second car. "The team is believed to have shifted away from the strict one-driver focus centered on Verstappen," Madic reported. "The emphasis is now on achieving better balance within the team, which also benefits Hadjar." Additionally, Racing Bulls is reportedly considering joining Red Bull and Ferrari in developing their version of the innovative rotating ‘Macarena’ rear-wing concept. Fresh insights have also come to light about Verstappen’s challenging weekend at Zandvoort. Robert Doornbos informed F1-Insider.com that the Dutch driver had a fever of about 39 degrees before his unexpected opening-lap crash. "He had a fever of around 39 degrees and really wasn’t feeling well," said the former Red Bull driver. Doornbos emphasized that there is no evidence linking the illness to the accident but acknowledged his initial thought was: "That’s not typical of Max."
