In qualifying, the driver did the unimaginable: he managed to beat Max Verstappen, who surprisingly did not advance from Q2. However, in the race at Suzuka, the roles were reversed, with the Dutchman finishing eighth and Hadjar settling for only 12th place.
After the checkered flag, speaking to the Canal+ channel, Isack explained how the RB22 is sometimes even dangerous given the difficulty of driving. “We didn’t have a good pace anyway,” he said.

“Anyway, we didn’t have a good pace. This was expected, but it was worse than at the start of the weekend. It was really impossible to drive – it was even dangerous. So, it was complicated.
