Isack Hadjar's Dutch Grand Prix record is the shortest in this series and comfortably the best. One start, one podium.
Third place at Zandvoort in 2025 was the first podium of his Formula 1 career, and he has since added a second at Monaco in 2026. Of all the venues to find a breakthrough, he found his at the hardest circuit on the calendar to overtake at.
The podium that changed his season
Hadjar qualified fourth, which was remarkable enough in a Racing Bulls, and then converted it into third. Fifteen points, a first trip to the rostrum and the sort of afternoon that changes how a paddock talks about a rookie.
Zandvoort rewards drivers who qualify well and then do not make mistakes, because the alternative is being stuck behind somebody for two hours. Hadjar did both parts of that job.
A record with nothing to hide behind
With a single start there is no trend to read, no decline to explain and no run of near misses. There is one race, one strong Saturday and one podium. The test everyone expected in 2026 never came, because Hadjar did not start the race, so the sample is still exactly one.
2026: a race he never started
Hadjar was on the 2026 grid as a Red Bull driver, promoted over the winter on the back of a season that the Zandvoort podium had opened. He did not take the start at the Dutch Grand Prix: a wrist injury ruled him out, and kept him out of the Italian Grand Prix a fortnight later too, with Liam Lawson stepping up to Red Bull in his place.
It means the obvious question, whether 2025 was the circuit or the weekend, is still unanswered. His Dutch Grand Prix record remains one race, one podium and nothing else at all.

The best average in the field
No win, no pole and no fastest lap, be that as it may Hadjar is one of very few drivers on the current grid with a Zandvoort podium to his name, and the only one whose entire Dutch Grand Prix record consists of it.
Hadjar's Dutch Grand Prix record is still one race long and it reads better than drivers with ten times the experience. Fifteen points from a single visit, and a podium at a circuit that hands them out very reluctantly. He remains the only driver on the grid whose entire Dutch record is a rostrum.
