Hadjar on being a ‘fighter’ and the champion he most wants to face

Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar, in a candid discussion on the latest 'Beyond The Grid' podcast, opened up about the challenges and triumphs on his journey to Formula 1. Despite a premature exit from his inaugural F1 race in Australia due to a formation lap slide on a rain-soaked track, Hadjar has demonstrated remarkable resilience. Describing himself as 'a fighter,' Hadjar shared with host Tom Clarkson how past setbacks have fortified his resolve, propelling him to be recognized as one of the sport's brightest young talents. The French driver, affectionately known as 'Le Petit Prost,' delved into the intricacies of transitioning from Formula 2 to F1, his experiences within Red Bull's demanding driver program, and the profound influence of his parents in achieving his ultimate ambition. He also humorously revealed the origin of his unique nickname.
