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.
