Formula 1 newcomer Isack Hadjar kept moving the face. The French racing bulls pilot complained several times during the qualification in Japan on the box radio that he had significant problems.
“It was a nightmare,” said the 20-year-old after the starting point hunt, which he ended in an excellent seventh place in front of record world champion Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari.
“I had a little pain”
But what did Hadjar even cause pain? A belt band was obviously not sitting properly – and that hurt. According to Hadjar, the problems with buckling up already appeared in the final training of Suzuka, but they could not be solved until qualifying. He was already afraid that he would not be able to hold out the first ko round. “I had a little pain, but then I was able to concentrate on fast driving for the rest,” he said relieved.
And how fast he was! He even landed right in front of the eighth Hamilton. In Australia at the start of the season, debutant Hadjar had already left on the formation round after a crash. Hamilton’s father Anthony came in the paddock and comforted the dissolved young racing driver. “I just wanted to hug him. I felt like a father for him,” said Anthony Hamilton at the time.
