Isack Alexandre Hadjar (French: [i.zak a.d͡ʒaʁ], Arabic: [ʔis.ħaːq ħa.d͡ʒar]; born 28 September 2004) is a French and Algerian racing driver who competes under the French flag in Formula One for Racing Bulls.

Born and raised in Paris to an Algerian family, Hadjar began competitive kart racing aged seven. After debuting in sportscar racing at the Ginetta Junior Winter Series, Hadjar graduated to junior formulae in 2019. He finished third in the 2020 French F4 Championship with the FFSA Academy, before progressing to the Formula Regional European Championship in 2021, achieving multiple victories as he finished fifth in his rookie season. He then entered Formula Regional Asian and FIA Formula 3 in 2022 with Hitech, placing third in the former and achieving multiple wins in both. Hadjar graduated to FIA Formula 2 in 2023, finishing runner-up to Gabriel Bortoleto the following season with Campos; his successes in Formula 2 saw him nicknamed "le Petit Prost" in French media.

A member of the Red Bull Junior Team since 2022, Hadjar signed for Racing Bulls in 2025, making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix, where he crashed on the formation lap; he has scored several points finishes across his rookie season, including his maiden podium at the Dutch Grand Prix. Hadjar is contracted to remain at Racing Bulls until at least the end of the 2025 season.

Isack Alexandre Hadjar was born on 28 September 2004 in Paris, France, to an Algerian family of physicians and physicists. His father, Yassine Hadjar, is a researcher in quantum mechanics and also served as his kart mechanic. He holds dual Algerian and French citizenship.

Hadjar initially grew fond of motorsport after watching the Pixar animated movie Cars. His parents bought him a go-kart when he was seven, a year after he started watching Formula One. He also contested boxing and judo at a young age.

Hadjar started competitive kart racing in 2012. After initially competing in national championships, Hadjar progressed to the international scene in 2017. Hadjar competed in the 2018 Karting World Championship and finished 22nd.

In 2019, Hadjar made his single seater debut in the French F4 Championship. Despite struggling to push down fully on the car's pedals owing to his low height at the start of the season, Hadjar was able to achieve his first single-seater win at Spa during the third round. Hadjar earned another podium at the Circuit de Lédenon, with a second place in the final race. The final three rounds of the season, were hampered by three retirements, but he still managed to score a decent haul of points to finish seventh in the standings, claiming second in the junior class to Victor Bernier.[citation needed]

Hadjar raced in two weekends of the F4 UAE Championship during the winter of 2020 with 3Y Technology. He had a highest finish of fourth place during the final round. Overall, he scored 56 points and placed eleventh in the championship.[citation needed]
