Young driver Isack Hadjar faced a terrifying incident during the British Grand Prix, adding himself to the list of retirements in a jaw-dropping high-speed crash. The intense race conditions at Turn 9 led to Hadjar’s premature exit, marking his second failure to see the chequered flag this year.
In a heart-stopping moment amidst the heavy rain, Hadjar found himself trailing a pack of cars following a safety car restart. As they navigated the treacherous Copse corner at breakneck speed, Hadjar’s car made contact with Kimi Antonelli’s Mercedes, causing a dramatic spin that ended with a brutal collision against the barriers. Miraculously, Hadjar emerged from the wreckage unscathed, but shaken by the harrowing experience.
Blaming poor visibility for the collision, Hadjar expressed his inability to spot Antonelli in the challenging weather conditions. The young Racing Bulls driver became the fourth casualty of the race, joining the likes of Gabriel Bortoleto, Liam Lawson, and Franco Colapinto on the sidelines. The F1 stewards have vowed to launch a thorough investigation into the incident following the conclusion of the race, aiming to shed light on the circumstances that led to this heart-stopping crash.
