Isack Hadjar saw his British Grand Prix end with a high-speed crash into the barrier amid challenging track conditions.
Isack Hadjar expressed surprise at race control’s decision to restart the British Grand Prix despite poor visibility due to rain. He retired from the race on lap 18 after a collision with Kimi Antonelli’s car at Copse corner. The spray from other cars following closely during the safety car restart made Hadjar nearly blind approaching the turn. Despite the safety car being out due to adverse conditions, race control believed it was safe to resume racing. Hadjar, who was unharmed, disagreed, stating the restart had the worst visibility he had experienced. He criticized the decision not to wait for improved conditions, considering the crash predictable. Hadjar was among the few drivers who switched to slick tires at the formation lap’s end as the track dried out, a move that did not pay off in the end.
