FIA Targets Red Bull Rookie in Surprise Monaco Probe – Stunning Verdict Revealed Ahead of Spanish GP!
In a dramatic twist following the Monaco Grand Prix, young Red Bull-backed F1 star Isack Hadjar found himself at the center of a surprise FIA inspection. The 20-year-old Racing Bulls driver, who has been turning heads in his rookie season, was randomly selected for a post-race compliance check after securing a career-best sixth-place finish on the streets of Monte Carlo.
The FIA, Formula 1’s governing body, confirmed ahead of the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix that Hadjar’s car and all associated team data passed the stringent post-race scrutiny. According to officials, the team’s submitted files and the physical inspection of Hadjar’s car were fully aligned with the regulations, giving the youngster a clean bill of compliance.
The Monaco GP was a weekend of highs and lows for Hadjar. Despite crashing twice during Friday’s second practice session, which saw his car suffer serious damage, the young Frenchman displayed remarkable resilience. In a stunning turnaround, Hadjar bounced back in qualifying with a P6 result — later promoted to fifth on the grid after Lewis Hamilton was hit with a penalty.
His gritty drive during the race helped Racing Bulls secure a rare double-points finish, with teammate Liam Lawson also bringing home valuable points in eighth place. This performance pushed Racing Bulls’ constructor tally to 22 points — a notable boost for the Red Bull junior team.
Despite the rocky start to his Monaco weekend, Hadjar’s composure and comeback have earned him high praise from paddock veterans. Among those singing his praises is former F1 World Champion Damon Hill, who shared his admiration on the BBC’s Chequered Flag podcast.
“He’s really surprised everyone,” Hill said. “Maybe even himself. You look at what happened — two crashes on Friday, emotionally shaken — yet he came back stronger. It shows incredible mental toughness. Not many rookies can crash twice at Monaco and still deliver a standout performance. He deserves real credit.”
Hadjar’s impressive display comes amid growing pressure in the Red Bull driver program, which is known for its cutthroat competition and high expectations. Many see the French talent as a future contender for a seat at the senior Red Bull Racing team, especially given his composure under pressure and ability to learn quickly from his mistakes.
With the FIA inspection now behind him and growing support from motorsport legends, Hadjar heads into the Spanish Grand Prix with renewed confidence and momentum. Whether he can continue this impressive form remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: Isack Hadjar is no longer just a rookie; he’s a rising force to watch in Formula 1.
