Isack Hadjar described his third place in qualifying for the United States Grand Prix as an outstanding turnaround after what he called a disastrous start to the weekend. He finished 0.036s behind Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen and 0.215s off polesitter and championship leader Kimi Antonelli.
Hadjar said his weekend at the Circuit of the Americas began badly, describing the opening phase as a disaster. He then recovered to take P3 in qualifying for the United States Grand Prix, a result he said was outstanding.
The French-Algerian driver ended qualifying just 0.036 seconds behind Verstappen and 0.215 seconds away from Antonelli's pole time. Antonelli will start from pole as the current championship leader.
