The BBC Revelation
“I like boxing, martial arts and combat sports in general“. This is how Isack Hadjar told our Carlo Platella in an interview given to FormulaPassion.it in June 2025, revealing that among his idols – besides motorsport legends like Ayrton Senna – there is also the one considered the greatest boxer of all time: Muhammad Ali. The French Red Bull driver, however, this time probably went too far with his passion for boxing gloves, at least according to a reconstruction reported by the BBC.

Hadjar’s injury – he fractured his wrist and for this reason will not be present at Zandvoort for the Dutch GP, leaving his seat to former Racing Bulls teammate Liam Lawson – actually originated from a boxing training session gone wrong. In its official statement, Red Bull did not provide any specific details regarding the #6’s injury, only stating that the incident occurred during the summer break.
