Isack Hadjar highlights his mistake in Q2 in Miami

From 11th place this Sunday, Isack Hadjar will start in conditions similar to those experienced in sprint races. Amidst the traffic, the opportunity to get off to a better start than in this first race experienced in the rain remains for the rider who could have matched his performance from the day before.

After the Q2 at the end of which he was eliminated, Isack Hadjar gave his analysis to Canal+. "I think for the perfect lap there are two hundredths to go. I have no regrets, apart from not having made the first attempt in Q2 because I messed up in the first corner., he nevertheless noted. In the end, my final benchmark is what I did in Q1. It put me in a bit of difficulty, but the lap was good, the car reacted well... We were so close to passing that it's definitely frustrating, but we did a good job."

Finding his way, Hadjar’s goal

Between sessions, the track seemed to be changing significantly this weekend in Miami. The ambient heat, track temperature, and humidity were all factors to consider, and the Frenchman seemed somewhat disoriented by the drier conditions of qualifying.

"She has changed (the track, compared to the rainy conditions of the sprint race. Ed.) more for the better. The temperatures dropped. The tire worked a little differently, the balance was different from yesterday. That surprised me a little." he agreed to conclude.

Despite the generally positive feelings, there are still many uncertainties. In the race, Isack Hadjar will have plenty of overtaking opportunities this Sunday. However, he will also have to watch out for danger from behind, since Lewis Hamilton, having missed his last attempt in Q2, will start from p12.
