F1 insider on Verstappen’s ‘evil look’ after Hadjar crash
During the Barcelona shakedown, F1 insider Ted Kravitz highlighted ‘evil looks’ from Max Verstappen towards Isack Hadjar following a crash involving the new Red Bull star. Hadjar had a successful start to testing on Monday, completing 108 laps without issues, but encountered a crash on Tuesday which caused significant damages to the RB22 at Turn 14. This incident led to Red Bull and Verstappen missing testing on Wednesday and Thursday while waiting for new parts from Milton Keynes. Despite Verstappen also facing challenges, completing only 27 laps in changeable conditions, Hadjar’s mistake could have impacted the Dutchman’s testing schedule. Both Kravitz and Craig Slater discussed the crash’s implications on the Red Bull team, with Slater defending Hadjar while Kravitz speculated on the potential consequences for Verstappen’s remaining testing days. Ultimately, after overcoming setbacks, Red Bull managed to get back on track with both drivers completing a total of 437 laps, showcasing promising reliability for the team’s new powertrains project.
