In a stunning display of skill and determination, Isack Hadjar outshines the Red Bull Racing team in Budapest on Friday, leaving them in his dust. The French driver showcased his talent by clinching the eighth fastest time during FP2, outperforming the likes of Yuki Tsunoda. Despite a strong start with a fourth-place finish in FP1, Hadjar slipped a few positions but remained optimistic about his performance.
“The car is truly competitive, and we had a good FP1 session. In FP2, the top teams began to show their pace, causing us to drop some positions, but the car felt great nonetheless. There are still some aspects that I’m not entirely satisfied with, but there is room for improvement. FP2 provided us with a clearer picture of our true potential this weekend. It’s a high aerodynamic load track, and driving here is a lot of fun,” Hadjar commented.
On the other hand, Liam Lawson struggled and could only manage the fifteenth position, citing traffic issues during the day. With the competition fierce and every improvement crucial, Lawson emphasized the importance of making the most out of any opportunity to gain an edge ahead of the all-important Qualifying session determining tomorrow’s race grid.
