F1, Australian GP: nightmarish debut for Isack Hadjar

Desperate, the driver è was xconsulted by Hamilton’s father

The Australian GP provided strong emotions, right from the formation lap. Protagonist, in a negative way, Isack Hadjar. The Racing Bulls driver, 11° in qualifying, as well as one of the five rookies of the new F1 season, was unable to debut due to an accident that occurred during, precisely, the formation lap.

The naturalized Algerian French driver lost control of his single-seater in the first few corners of the formation lap and è went off the track, with no chance to re-enter and be able to position himself on the grid for the start of the Australian GP, what would be his first GP in Formula 1. Decisive the conditions of the track wet by rain.

Serious mistake and, of course, hardly acceptable for a Formula 1 driver, despite the alibi of the less than optimal circuit conditions (same fate for Jack Doohan and Carlos Sainz in the very first laps). Isack Hadjar è exited the single-seater in despair at what he had done. Back in the paddock, è was consoled by Lewis Hamilton’s father.

It è not the first driver to happen to make such a mistake in the history of Formula 1 (Nikita Mazupin in the recent past) but, for sure, it was a really black debut for one of the most awaited rookies. He will try to make up for it at the next GP but it will not be easy to forget what happened in Melbourne.
