Hadjar points to lingering Red Bull issues before Mexico City

Ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix, Isack Hadjar said Red Bull still have a weakness to address if the team are to fight for victory again. Formula1.com reported that he identified an area the team need to work on before they can return to winning form.

Motorsport.com reported that after the United States Grand Prix, Hadjar was critical of Red Bull's execution, with Max Verstappen also unhappy with the strategy. The report added that both drivers were affected by two longer-running problems for the team: technical issues with the team radio and problematic starts.

According to Motorsport.com, Hadjar later admitted there were things he should have kept to himself after making those comments. One of the issues he referenced was poor radio communication during the race.
