Overview
- Helmut Marko says Red Bull will finalize its 2026 driver choices after the Mexican Grand Prix, keeping announcements on hold until then.
- Isack Hadjar indicated he knows he will be in F1 next season and called the constant speculation annoying, preferring any announcement at season’s end.
- Hadjar laughed off questions suggesting he already knows his destination and rejected talk of an immediate 2025 switch to Red Bull.
- Marko told Austrian media that Alex Dunne is not an option for a 2026 seat, narrowing Red Bull’s pool to in-house candidates.
- Red Bull prospect Arvid Lindblad will run FP1 in Mexico in Verstappen’s car, as Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson face contract pressure heading into 2026.
