Red Bull strengthens its junior program with four new talents, including one French
F1. Red Bull Racing has just announced a new wave of recruits for its junior driver program, with the addition of four young international talents, including a Frenchman. This recent expansion reflects the team's ongoing commitment to the discovery and development of future Formula 1 champions.
The Red Bull young driver program is known for having revealed exceptional talents, such as Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo, and Liam Lawson. The team continues to demonstrate its determination to shape the future of Formula 1 by investing in new talents and supporting them throughout their journey.
Among the new recruits, we find the Frenchman Jules Caranta. The 16-year-old pilot, originally from Saint-Tropez, made the transition to single-seaters this year and now competes in the French Formula 4 championship, where he currently holds the second position.
He explained that he fell into the madness of car racing thanks to his parents: "My parents had a go-kart team and I immediately fell in love with motor sports. Since then, it has never stopped."

Jules Caranta is therefore joining two other French drivers in this program: Isack Hadjar, who is competing in Formula 2, and Enzo Deligny who is participating in the FRECA. In addition to Caranta, Red Bull also announced the selection of Christopher Feghali (Lebanon), Rocco Coronel (Netherlands), and Ernesto Rivera (Mexico). These drivers are joining Fionn McLaughlin (Ireland) and Scott Lindblom (Sweden), who had been integrated into the program earlier in the year.
This up-and-coming team recently took part in a three-day event in Jerez, where they had the opportunity to test Formula 4 and GP3 single-seaters.
Helmut Marko, who has overseen this program for several years, commented on this new stage with enthusiasm: The return of the Red Bull Driver Search has been an important step for our Junior Driver program. The invited drivers have already highlighted promising young talents, and we remain determined to encourage our junior drivers to shape the future of motorsport.
The focus is now on these young recruits, who could well become the future stars of the sport.
