How Hadjar lost a possible podium chance in Sepang

Isack Hadjar of Red Bull Racing experienced a frustrating race at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where a late battery issue cost him a potential podium finish. After starting from eighth due to a penalty, Hadjar made significant progress and was running in a podium position until he faced grip and pace challenges in the closing laps, ultimately finishing fifth.

Despite his strong performance early in the race, Hadjar was unable to defend against Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc after the Safety Car restart. He expressed disappointment over the car's performance, stating that he felt something was wrong with the battery, which affected his ability to compete effectively. Hadjar is determined to address these issues and perform better in the upcoming race in Singapore.
