Isack Hadjar questions Red Bull’s “fastest car” status despite back-to-back wins for Max Verstappen in Malaysia and Singapore, arguing Ferrari holds the edge in Marina Bay pace.
“No. I don’t think we have the fastest car. The car is still very hard to drive.” — Isack Hadjar
Hadjar’s Singapore weekend unravels with repeated technical issues, skipping Sprint Qualifying. A power unit change triggers a pit lane start, yet he recovers to finish tenth.
Verstappen still wins from pole, secured by roughly 0.05s, but Hadjar says that margin doesn’t prove outright superiority. He even suggests a Ferrari might have won more emphatically.
Verstappen maximizes a tight qualifying in Q3, while Hadjar notes Ferrari forgoes new softs in the race. He says Malaysia looked dominant; Singapore exposed lingering driveability issues.
Hadjar endures failures across practice and qualifying, then vows a reset for the Circuit of the Americas. His Singapore GP struggles underline how reliability masked his underlying pace.
Hadjar starts from the pit lane in Singapore and still scores a point with P10.
Red Bull acknowledges weaknesses and chases refinements that have recently improved consistency. The focus is a clean weekend, after a Red Bull warning on fine margins in the title fight.
Oscar Piastri sees a clear Red Bull step over the last three rounds, citing Baku plus subsequent Verstappen wins. He says Ferrari is often quickest in corners but pays on straights.
Piastri’s view aligns with a two-team contest shaped by execution and tyre use. His assessment of Red Bull’s gains is expanded in Piastri’s view on Red Bull’s progress.
Singapore pole by half a tenth underscores how qualifying execution now decides outcomes.
As Austin approaches, the Ferrari–Red Bull balance looks finely poised. Expect tight qualifying and high execution stakes, as outlined in this US GP prospects preview.
