Hadjar had “no battery” to defend from Hamilton and Leclerc in final laps | Formula 1
Isack Hadjar expressed frustration after finishing fifth in the Bahrain Grand Prix, stating he had "no battery" left to defend his position against Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc in the final laps. Hadjar initially held third place behind his Red Bull teammate and Andrea Kimi Antonelli during the last Safety Car period, but struggled to maintain his position once the race resumed. Earlier in the race, Hadjar managed to fend off Hamilton while the latter was on medium tyres. However, after Hamilton switched to soft tyres during the Safety Car, Hadjar was unable to keep up and ultimately lost his podium position, finishing the race in fifth.
