Isack Hadjar will participate in an exceptional demonstration at the wheel of the Red Bull RB7 during the 2026 Historic French Grand Prix, organized at the Paul Ricard circuit.
The single-seater designed for the 2011 season remains one of the most dominant in the recent history of Formula 1, with 12 victories, including 11 by Sebastian Vettel, crowned world champion that year. Its presence will be one of the highlights of the event.
The French driver, competing in his second season in Formula 1, will perform as part of the “Fast & Famous” segment, scheduled for Saturday, May 9.
A special moment for Hadjar
This appearance will take on a special dimension for Hadjar, who will perform in front of his home crowd while sharing the track with several great French figures of the discipline, including Alain Prost, René Arnoux, Jean Alesi, Olivier Panis and Philippe Alliot.
“Driving in front of a home crowd is always something I look forward to, and doing it as an Oracle Red Bull Racing driver makes it even more special.”
