F1 star blasts fierce Lewis Hamilton rival with BRUTAL ‘talent’ swipe
French F1 driver Isack Hadjar boldly criticized the talent level of one of Lewis Hamilton’s long-time rivals in the sport.
Despite his swipe, Hadjar considers Hamilton a childhood hero and has received strong support from the Hamilton family since entering F1.
Hadjar’s admiration for Hamilton is evident, with Anthony Hamilton offering comfort after the newcomer’s crash at the Australian GP before his first race.
In a recent interview, Hadjar discussed his interest in studying engineering alongside his racing career, inspired by champions like Nigel Mansell and Nico Rosberg.
Although acknowledging Rosberg’s technical prowess, Hadjar inadvertently implied that the 2016 champion relied more on knowledge than talent in his battles with Hamilton on the track.
Despite the critique, Hadjar holds respect for Rosberg and aims to emulate his intelligence and success in the sport.
Looking ahead, Hadjar’s promising rookie season and first F1 podium at Zandvoort position him as a potential teammate to Max Verstappen at Red Bull, a challenge he welcomes despite feeling intimidated by the opportunity.
