F1 star crashes on streets of Tokyo days before Japanese Grand Prix
Isack Hadjar suffered a humiliating moment during a Red Bull demo run in Tokyo just days before the start of the Japanese Grand Prix. The young Frenchman has endured a mixed start to his F1 career, making arguably the worst debut in history at the season opener in Australia. He was caught out at the very first corner during the formation lap, losing rear traction and sliding into the wall.
After jumping out of the car, Hadjar was visibly distraught and began to cry in full view of the TV cameras. It prompted a furious response from Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko, who branded his reaction an ’embarrassing, tearful show’. A week later, the 20-year-old made amends with an impressive display at the Chinese Grand Prix.
