Formule-1 : Hadjar Blames Car Failure, Not Lindblad, for Suzuka Frustration

Isack Hadjar unleashes frustration over his Japanese Grand Prix experience, focusing on car issues rather than conflicts with teammate Arvid Lindblad. Hadjar starts strong in eighth but quickly tumbles down the order, losing ground to Lindblad, Max Verstappen, and Esteban Ocon. A tense battle ensues with Lindblad, prompting radio outbursts. However, Hadjar downplays the incident, stating, “This is not even one percent of how bad this race was.” He reveals battery deployment failures left him “powerless,” stripping away any performance advantage. Despite the chaos, he initially aimed to challenge Pierre Gasly. Now, he sees no positives in the race, emphasizing, “We have a good power unit… but the chassis side is terrible.” Hadjar’s words highlight a critical need for improvement ahead of the next race.
