Isack Hadjar Secures Career-Best Qualifying Finish at Dutch Grand Prix

Isack Hadjar delivered a standout performance at the Dutch Grand Prix, securing a career-best fourth place in qualifying. This result marks the highest starting position of his Formula 1 career, placing him on the second row of the grid alongside some of the sport's top drivers.

Hadjar expressed his surprise and joy after the session, especially given his struggles the day before. "I’m feeling great! An amazing Qualifying," said Hadjar. "Honestly, yesterday was a complete disaster for me, so it was really unexpected." He credited his turnaround to improved confidence in the car during the morning sessions and celebrated his first-ever Q3 appearance alongside his teammate Liam Lawson.

Hadjar, who has yet to score points this season, believes this result will boost his confidence heading into the race. "It gives me a lot of confidence because recently, I’ve felt like maybe our race pace has been a bit better. I think the car is really healthy around here," he added. Meanwhile, Lawson, who qualified eighth, expressed frustration over his inability to improve his lap time in Q3, citing the challenging conditions at the Zandvoort circuit.
