What happened: Isack Hadjar finished third at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, marking his second podium for Red Bull and third overall in Formula 1. The race also saw George Russell win and secure his first career Grand Slam.
Why it matters: Hadjar returned to the grid in Baku after missing time with a wrist injury, delivering an immediate result. The event simultaneously continued a unique historical correlation between Hadjar's top-three finishes and rival driver milestones.
By the numbers: In all three of Hadjar's career podiums, another driver has achieved their first Grand Slam. The sequence began with Oscar Piastri at the 2025 Netherlands Grand Prix and continued with Kimi Antonelli at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix before Russell's feat in Azerbaijan.
What to watch: Hadjar will look to build on this momentum as he continues his season following the injury layoff.
