Since his time on the benches of F4 France two years ago, Isack Hadjar has not changed. The 17-year-old young man has maintained an authenticity at all times, a disconcerting simplicity and this determination characteristic of those who know where they are going. Of course, he has matured. He has grown too, adolescence obliges, and fortunately, when we know that this pocket size barely managed to apply the right brake pressures in 2019, when he was twenty centimeters shorter. The Parisian has also become an athlete, his shoulders have broadened and his arms have grown. But in his well-formed mind, he remained the same, escaping all the pitfalls and setbacks of his irresistible rise. For two years, everything has worked out for him. Thirteen months ago, he revealed himself in the streets of Monaco thanks to a crushing victory, which he concretized with an honorary title of best rookie of the FRECA a few months later, as well as a signing with Red Bull. The passage into F3, in 2022 with Hitech GP, was obvious, with already a victory (Sprint in Bahrain, March 19) and a current status as best rookie a third of the way through the season.
