What Is going wrong with Isack Hadjar’s Red Bull in Singapore?

Max Verstappen continued his strong performance at the Singapore Grand Prix by securing pole position, marking the 50th of his career. However, Isack Hadjar faced significant challenges, unable to set a time in qualifying due to a gearbox problem that compounded earlier power unit issues, leading to a frustrating weekend for the French driver.

Despite the setbacks for Hadjar, Red Bull's team principal Laurent Mekies praised the mechanics for their efforts to repair the car in time for qualifying. Mekies acknowledged Hadjar's misfortune with repeated technical problems and expressed confidence in his ability to recover during the race, although starting from the back of the grid presents a considerable challenge at the Marina Bay circuit.
