Victim at the very end of the race of a puncture which forced him to throw in the towel on Sunday during the Qatar Grand Prix, Isack Hadjar was furious afterwards. The young French driver even went so far as to describe his car as a “plastic car”.
Isack Hadjar (21 years old) is not only an ace pilot. The French prodigy, who is competing in his first season in F1 this year, also has one of those strong temperaments that generally make champions. His fans were able to see it this Sunday at the end of this Qatar Grand Prix won by Max Verstappen who could snatch a fifth consecutive coronation next Sunday in Abu Dhabi.
Furious at the conditions in which he had to abandon the race two laps from the end when he seemed set to finish in 6th place, the Parisian, victim of a break in the fin of his car leading to a puncture, had a lot of difficulty digesting afterwards. “The car broke at the front. It went under the flat bottom, it exploded,” complained Hadjar, who did not hesitate to use very harsh words to refer to his car.
Hadjar: “The pace was very good, it’s a shame”
“Plastic car, what, in fact”, continued at the microphone of Canal Plus the young 21-year-old French driver who became last August in the Netherlands the youngest of our representatives to climb on a podium in F1 (Editor’s note: He finished 3rd). A mishap all the more unfortunate since Hadjar, after a laborious start at the wheel of his Racing Bulls, had managed to get back to the edge of the Top 5.
Enough to give even more regret to the one who currently occupies 10th place in the world championship standings after having finished in the points nine times since the start of this first season for him. “I wasn’t good at the procedure, I didn’t get a good start and that complicated the race. But hey, the pace was very good. So it’s a shame. » We must wish Hadjar that he will experience a happier Sunday next weekend, in Abu Dhabi for this long-awaited outcome.
