Isack Hadjar openly shared his frustration at Red Bull\u2019s poor reliability in Singapore after he was unable to set a representative lap in Qualifying, leaving him to start Sunday\u2019s Grand Prix at the back of the grid.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman has had a tough time in his RB22 in recent sessions, having lost a potential podium in Malaysia<\/a> due to a battery issue and he retired from the Singapore<\/a> Sprint with a separate mechanical failure.<\/p>\n His eagerness to have a chance to showcase his speed in Qualifying \u2013 shown by his grateful radio message to his team for fixing the car \u2013 was soon quashed when he went deep before creeping back around the circuit at a slow speed, reporting that \u201cthe engine is off\u201d.<\/p>\n Although he got going once again, the problems continued and he had no choice but to return to the garage, which meant that he was unclassified in the session and will subsequently line up on the last row at the start of the race.<\/p>\n Hadjar<\/a> later confirmed that the fault was with the gearbox, as he explained: \u201cWhat\u2019s funny is that I felt nice in Sector 1, until in Turn 8 I broke the gearbox, basically. That\u2019s it. I tried to\u2026 I don\u2019t even know why we kept going.<\/p>\n \u201cThe car was absolutely damaged. I knew it was the end, but I didn\u2019t want to stop on track, so I kept bringing the car back [to] the garage.<\/p>\n \u201cI was being annoying, but honestly, I\u2019m just craving to be out there on track, driving and doing my best. Now I\u2019m really, really frustrated, because we\u2019ve had issues in every session but FP1.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to give my best. I don\u2019t know\u2026 I think Carlos [Sainz] last year started around last [18th], and he finished 10th or something. I still want to push and bring points, but I just\u2026 I like the Qualifying, adrenaline, and [when] I don\u2019t get to have it, I\u2019m really p****d.\u201d<\/p>\n He and team mate Max Verstappen<\/a> shared contrasting fortunes as the latter finished on top in Qualifying, securing the 50th pole position<\/a> of his Grand Prix career.<\/p>\n
