Hadjar mocks frustrated Leclerc after woeful post-qualifying team radio

What could have turned into a weekend fighting for the win—or at least for a podium—after setting the fastest first sector on his final Q3 attempt, quickly spiraled into a nightmare for Charles Leclerc.

The Monegasque driver, who missed the entire Friday session due to the crash in the opening minutes of FP1, managed to bounce back on Saturday, showing strong pace with his SF-25.

Unfortunately, a mistake at the end of the first sector compromised his weekend, forcing him to start eighth on a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult.

According to Leclerc, the mistake was caused by Isack Hadjar, who unintentionally disrupted his lap with the dirty air he generated.

'For f**k sake! This guy....do we have one more lap?' Leclerc exclaimed angrily over the radio, asking if he still had a lap remaining.

Hadjar must have clearly heard the team radio, judging by the playful exchange during the drivers’ parade that quickly went viral on social media.

The French driver playfully mocked number 16, humorously mimicking his words during the radio outburst.
