F1 fans have selected Isack Hadjar as their rookie of the season so far, according to the results of a RacingNews365 poll.
Such has been Hadjar's level of performance, he is already being linked with promotion to the Red Bull Racing seat for 2026 alongside Max Verstappen, although he has been urged by Nico Rosberg to reject promotion, given the difficulties Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda have endured this season.
After the Spanish GP, Hadjar is ninth in the standings on 21 points, following a best result of sixth in Monaco, having only taken part in eight races following his DNS in Australia after crashing on the formation lap.
Although Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli has more than double Hadjar's points with 48, a Sprint pole in Miami, fastest lap and leading a grand prix, Hadjar received more than half the votes in a poll by RacingNews365 to find which rookie readers have been most impressed with.
