A shocking turn of events unfolded at the Belgian Grand Prix as Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar faced a “super painful” setback that saw him plummet to the back of the field. Despite showing promise with a point in the Sprint and an eighth-place qualification for the main race, Hadjar’s fortunes quickly soured at Spa-Francorchamps.
Struggling right from the start, Hadjar’s car issues became glaringly evident as he slipped down the rankings, ultimately finishing in 20th place and being lapped during the race. The young driver, although tight-lipped about the specifics of the problem, expressed his frustration at being unable to compete at his best.
Team principal Alan Permane extended his sympathy towards Hadjar, acknowledging the performance impact of the car problem that marred what could have been a successful weekend for Racing Bulls. With eyes now set on the upcoming Budapest race, Hadjar remains determined to bounce back from this disappointment and showcase his true potential on the track.
