Red Bull's Isack Hadjar has failed to make it out of Q1 at the Singaporean GP Qualifying after suffering a gearbox issue at the Marina Bay Circuit.
The Red Bull driver, who has already swapped power unit parts this weekend, limped around the circuit after reporting "the engine is off", but managed to make it back to the pit despite concerns over a Red Flag.
Once he emerged back out for another go in Q1, a gearbox issue then emerged, with the Frenchman failing to set a representative lap time during the session.
Hadjar joins Fernando Alonso, Alex Albon, Lance Stroll, Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas as the drivers to be eliminated in the first part of Singapore GP Qualifying.
