A spectacular race for Isack Hadjar. The Racing Bulls driver secured a podium finish, with the third place for the first time in his career.
Hadjar started the race from fourth place, and defended it fiercely against George Russell and Charles Leclerc. During the final laps, Lando Norris, who was running second behind his teammate, suffered car problems and was forced to retire. This promoted both Verstappen and Hadjar up one position, allowing them to join Piastri on the podium.
“It feels a bit unreal. What was most surprising to me was keeping the fourth place for the race. Unfortunate for Lando, we took advantage of his [DNF]”, said the driver.
“I maximised what I had and made no mistakes. This was the target since I was a kid, this is the first step and hopefully more to come."
A well-deserved podium for the 2004-born driver after an excellent race, hopefully the first of many more to come.
