Career

Karting

Hadjar was born in Paris and started karting in 2015. In the first two years he competed in national championships, and in his final year of karting Hadjar raced in the CIK-FIA European OK Junior Championship, beating out future Red Bull academy member Jak Crawford.

Lower formulae

In 2019 Hadjar made his single seater debut in the French F4 Championship.[2] He achieved one race victory at Spa and finished seventh in the standings. The Frenchman then raced in two weekends of the F4 UAE Championship during the winter of 2020 with 3Y Technology, where he scored 56 points, leading to eleventh in the championship.[3] Hadjar then once again drove in the French F4 series. He fared much better than in the previous year, winning three races. After eight further podiums and two pole positions Hadjar finished third in the drivers' standings.

Formula Regional Championships

2021

The Frenchman made his debut at the Formula Regional level in 2021, competing in the first three rounds of the F3 Asian Championship with Evans GP. He impressed right from the start, scoring a myriad of podium finishes, which included three podiums in the second round at Yas Marina. Despite not taking part in the latter rounds of the campaign, Hadjar managed to finish sixth in the standings, highes of all part-time entrants.

Hadjar's main campaign would lie in the Formula Regional European Championship, where he partnered Zane Maloney, Léna Bühler and fellow countryman Hadrien David at R-ace GP.[4] The Frenchman scored his first points, along with his first rookie win, at the first round in Imola.[5] He then proceeded to score his first podium at the next event, held in Barcelona, and achieved his first Formula Regional victory in the first race on the streets of Monaco.[6] At that same weekend Hadjar finished second in race two, only behind teammate Maloney, and closed in on the championship lead held by Grégoire Saucy.[7] However, Hadjar would be unable to score a podium finish until the final round of the season, despite amassing a number of finishes in the top six. Following a disappointing round at Mugello where he hadn't scored any points the Frenchman bounced back with a double podium in that final round at Monza, scoring a win in the second race after the leading pair collided.[8] Hadjar ended up fifth in the standings, just four points behind teammate Maloney, and won the honours for the best rookie of the season.

2022

At the start of 2022 Hadjar raced in the Formula Regional Asian Championship with Hitech.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

In November of 2021 Hadjar drove for Hitech Grand Prix in the FIA Formula 3 post-season test.[9] He would eventually be announced to drive for the team in the 2022 season in January.[10]

Formula One

On 16 June 2021, Red Bull announced that Hadjar was to become a member of the Red Bull Junior Team in 2022.[11]
