Hadjar returns with third place in Baku

Isack Hadjar marked his return to action with third place at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku after what was described as a very long six weeks on the sidelines. He was all smiles after the race and hailed the result as his first proper podium.

Hadjar had been out with a wrist injury before returning to the cockpit, and Motorsport.com also noted he had signed a new Red Bull contract for 2027. During the race, he capitalised on a late lock-up from McLaren's Oscar Piastri to take P3.

According to F1 TV pundit Alex Brundle, it was an exceptional comeback drive that earned valuable team-mate points. The result also secured a double podium for Red Bull in Baku.
