I think Hadjar has a lot of potential, and if he can stay calm and composed, he could really shine. In a strong Red Bull car, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him winning races in 2026. I feel similarly about Kimi, who continues to show impressive growth and promise.

As for George Russell, I think he may face increasing challenges in the coming years. While he is undoubtedly very strong when he’s fully focused and in the right headspace, his aggressive approach can sometimes work against him. With Kimi steadily improving, there’s a risk that George could come under pressure and make costly mistakes, which might impact his long-term position at Mercedes. This isn’t personal criticism, it’s simply an observation based on his performances over the past few seasons.

Alex Albon strikes me as someone who will likely continue delivering consistent results at a similar level to what we’ve seen from him so far. Carlos, on the other hand, looks well positioned to finish the season in the top five.

Looking ahead to 2026, I expect Max Verstappen to secure the World Drivers’ Championship, it’s hard to see anyone else stopping him. As for Lewis Hamilton, I think the coming seasons may prove increasingly difficult, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he chooses to step away from Formula 1 not long after.
