Poor Isack Hadjar. He was having a decent first F1 race weekend too, only to lose the rear end of his Racing Bull on the formation lap.
Sadly, that meant he didn’t actually get to race on his debut — and he has seemed distraught about that since:
💬 “I mean, usually I take it step by step and we were keen on having the best out-lap possible for the race start. So early in the lap, you try to warm those tires and I overdid it.
“It’s the tiniest mistake you can do and the car is unsaveable. You’re just a passenger. It feels terrible.”
Hadjar was also caught by Lewis Hamilton’s father, Anthony, as he was returning to his team: Hadjar added:
💬 “(He said) just keep your head high. He knows what tough times are and he sees a rookie putting it in the wall on not even Lap 1, he knows how tough it feels.
“He came to comfort me. It was a really nice gesture from him. But nevertheless, it feels really hard and I feel really sorry for the team.”
