He took some blows on his climb to Formula 1. But now, Isack Hadjar is toe-to-toe with the heavyweights.
Hadjar’s first F1 race was over before it began when he slid off the track during the formation lap on a rain-soaked day in Australia. In the latest episode of Beyond The Grid, the Racing Bulls driver tells host Tom Clarkson how previous setbacks helped him get back on his feet and establish himself as one of the best young drivers in the sport.
Hadjar describes himself as “a fighter”, and he picks the World Champion he most wants to face up to as team mates.
He talks about the difficult step from Formula 2 to F1, life in Red Bull’s driver programme, how his parents inspired him to reach the highest level, and how he earned his nickname, ‘Le Petit Prost’.
