The 2026 Historic Grand Prix of France is set to be a highlight for Formula 1 enthusiasts. Isack Hadjar, a promising young driver from the Red Bull Racing team, will take the wheel of the legendary Red Bull RB7 at the Paul Ricard circuit. This is a unique opportunity to see this iconic car that marked its era, while also enjoying the return of a local hero.
An Icon of Formula 1
The Red Bull RB7 is not just a racing car; it is the symbol of a golden era for the team. Dominant during the 2011 season, this car allowed Sebastian Vettel to secure his second consecutive title, with an impressive total of 12 victories. Designed by Adrian Newey, it combined power and finesse, propelled by a Renault V8 engine that performed wonders on the tracks.
An Anticipated Event
The Historic Grand Prix of France, scheduled for May 9 and 10, promises to be a celebration for motorsport fans. Isack Hadjar, who recently joined Red Bull, will have the opportunity to showcase his talent in front of his French audience. His presence is a significant moment for him, but also for all the fans who will be able to enjoy the spectacle live.
Isack Hadjar does not hide his excitement: “Driving in front of my audience is something I always look forward to. Doing it as a Red Bull Racing driver makes it even more special.” This sentiment is shared by spectators who are eagerly awaiting this demonstration.
Legends on the Track
Hadjar will not be alone on the track. Several iconic figures from French motorsport, such as Alain Prost, René Arnoux, Jean Alesi, and Olivier Panis, will also be part of this event. This gathering of talent will resonate throughout Castellet and strengthen the bond between generations of drivers.
For Hadjar, this moment will also be an opportunity to fulfill a dream: “Sharing the track with some of the greatest French Formula 1 drivers will be a very important moment for me personally.”
Activities and Atmosphere
Alongside the demonstrations, Red Bull offers a rich program of activities: meet-and-greets in the paddock, discussions with ambassadors, and many other surprises. Everything is set up to provide an unforgettable experience for spectators. The setting of the Paul Ricard circuit, with its beautiful landscapes and modern facilities, adds an extra dimension to this event.
An Impressive Setting
The Historic Grand Prix of France will bring together nearly 225 cars, including over 60 F1 cars from the 1970s to the 2010s.
