Crash by Isack Hadjar prompts early red flag in Austin qualifying
Qualifying for the United States Grand Prix faced an interruption in Q1 when Isack Hadjar crashed his car into the barriers, prompting a red flag. Fortunately, the team has confirmed that the driver is unharmed. Despite Hadjar's frustration evident by hitting his steering wheel post-collision, experts like Martin Brundle noted that it seemed the car lost control suddenly at Turn 6 due to a minor bump on the track. The challenging conditions, including high winds and a bumpy track, added an extra layer of difficulty for the drivers during qualification. Meanwhile, drivers like Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli were still waiting in the pitlane, saving their tires. As a result of the crash, Hadjar will be starting from the back of the grid for the upcoming race. Reflecting on the incident, Hadjar admitted fault in his approach to that section of the track, acknowledging that he struggled with the ride throughout the lap, yet taking responsibility for the crash as a personal mistake.
