Motorsport.com reported that Isack Hadjar encountered engine-related problems during the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix weekend. The outlet also reported that Max Verstappen took pole position for Red Bull for Sunday’s race, while Hadjar’s issue had not been officially confirmed in the material provided.

In a separate report, Motorsport.com said Red Bull’s own power unit had already taken its first Formula 1 win in Malaysia earlier in the 2026 season. That adds context to the latest reported concern around Hadjar’s car, but the available sources do not specify the exact fault or any official team response.

Hadjar came into this point of the season eighth in the drivers’ championship on 96 points. The French driver had made 33 Formula 1 starts across 2025 and 2026, scoring one podium with a best finish of third, while Red Bull had won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors’ titles since entering the sport in 2005.
