Isack Hadjar, Racing Bulls (P16) 3/10
Hadjar’s luck is stuck in a ditch. The team’s baffling choice of hard tyres kneecapped his race from the get-go, but let’s not kid ourselves—crashing in Q1 and earning a track limits flag by lap six? That’s not just bad fortune, it’s a self-inflicted facepalm for the young man who is expected to race alongside Verstappen enxt season.
Esteban Ocon, Haas (P15) 4/10
Starting on hards proved a poor call, leaving Ocon struggling for grip early. He dumped them on lap 25 for mediums but never got competitive, finishing well adrift of his younger teammate. Strategy misfire plus lack of pace equals a forgettable outing.
