Hadjar calls for Red Bull clutch redesign after poor US GP start
Isack Hadjar said Red Bull should redesign its clutch after start problems compromised his United States Grand Prix. He blamed the clutch for a poor getaway that dropped him from third on the grid to fifth on the opening lap.
Isack Hadjar criticised Red Bull's clutch after the United States Grand Prix, saying the design needs to be redesigned following another difficult start. Reports said he was frustrated after suffering clutch trouble off the line.
Hadjar started third at the Circuit of the Americas after qualifying just 0.036 seconds behind team-mate Max Verstappen. But his getaway was poor, and he fell to fifth on the opening lap, which damaged his race.
Motorsport.com said Hadjar described the event as a "disaster" weekend before his recovery in qualifying, while RaceFans and Crash.net both reported his frustration with the clutch after the race.
