Isack Hadjar's mother beat him to the punch when it came to hearing the news of his Red Bull promotion. But here's where it gets controversial... Hadjar revealed in an interview that his mother found out about his promotion before he did! The 21-year-old driver explained that he called his mom first after learning of the move, only to discover that she already knew. 'She said that she actually got the phone call before I had it,' Hadjar shared. 'She knew before I did, because she’s my manager and she knows more than I do!'. This got us thinking - what's the secret behind Hadjar's mom's early knowledge? Was it a simple oversight on Hadjar's part, or was there something more to it? And this is the part most people miss... Hadjar's mom's early knowledge could be attributed to her role as his manager. As his manager, she would have access to internal information and updates that Hadjar might not have. This raises an interesting question: how much do team managers really know about their drivers' careers? And what does this mean for the future of driver-manager relationships? We invite you to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments below. Do you think it's fair for managers to have an advantage over their drivers? Or is it just a part of the game?
