Isack Hadjar has a unique record on the current grid. The Racing Bulls driver reacted to this ahead of the summer break.
More specifically, Isack Hadjar is the only driver on the Formula 1 grid who has never been eliminated in Q1 in the qualifiers. All his other F1 peers have had to experience this at one point or another in their careers so far.
The Frenchman made his debut in the premier class this season. He has managed to avoid elimination in the first sessions of qualifying in fourteen Grands Prix so far.
Hadjar responds to his unique achievement in Hungary
In conversation with, among others, GPblog, Hadjar was asked about this record in Hungary.

The Frenchman finished in P10 in qualifying that day, behind his teammate Liam Lawson, and was not happy with how the final session went that Saturday.
"Yes, it's good," the Frenchman replied. He was then pointed out that this is something to smile about. "Yes," said Hadjar briefly.

During the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Frenchman had an uncomfortable session, as coming off of a car ahead, gravel hit his finger.
Ultimately, he finished just outside the points in P11. Lawson finished at P8 and scored four points.
