Isack Hadjar hit new heights to score an outstanding podium finish in Zandvoort. He combined the speed we know he has with a consistency and nerve under pressure that is developing more and more with each passing race.
The Frenchman has been a superb qualifier this year, which has been one of the key building blocks of his impressive rookie season.
His Racing Bulls car is a confidence-inspiring machine: it’s not particularly snappy, the drivers seem to be able to find a balance quickly each weekend, and it’s allowed Hadjar to find the marginal gains as the track grip comes up on Saturday afternoons.
