Hadjar expresses frustration over podium loss at Bahrain GP

Summary

Isack Hadjar expressed disappointment after losing a podium finish at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix on October 4, 2026, due to what he termed a 'stupid' chassis problem. Despite securing third place temporarily after George Russell's exit, Hadjar faced challenges maintaining pace, ultimately losing positions to Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc in the final laps due to battery issues. Hadjar emphasized that while Red Bull celebrated their first win of the season with teammate Max Verstappen, his performance fell short and he plans to address the chassis concerns for upcoming races. He described the day as a disaster for himself, urging improvements ahead of the next event in Singapore.
