For 2024, Hadjar switched to Campos Racing, where he partnered with another Red Bull junior, Pepe Martí.

This was an extremely successful season, with the Franco-Algerian narrowly missing out on the title, which was decided in the very last lap of the season. Hadjar ultimately finished second in the Formula 2 championship behind champion Gabriel Bortoleto.

The promotion to F1

Hadjar's debut F1 season came in 2025 where he was given a seat at the Racing Bulls team. He suffered heartbreak at his debut as a formation lap crash in Australia cast a dark shadow over his debut.
