Isack Hadjar wishes to drive Williams F1 car as it terms it as a good car, but doesn’t see it as outright best in midfield against his own Visa Cash App RB machinery.
After the weekend in Baku, Williams has 101 points against Visa Cash App RB’s 72 in their fight for fifth in the F1 constructors’ championship. The latter leapfrogged Aston Martin to be sixth, creating 10 points between the two and inching closer to the Grove-based outfit.
With only seven races left, including three sprint events, the fight is on for fifth still. And Hadjar agrees Williams to be a good car and one he would like to drive to ascertain. But he doesn’t see it as an all-rounder or the best in the midfield. As per the trend, he feels it performs well in slow tracks.
And also circuits with long straights, while Visa Cash App RB performs well on high-speed tracks. He isn’t certain which car is easier to drive, but he would like to think that his car is. “I mean it is a F1 car, I think it is easy to drive, maybe easier than some other cars, but I don’t think it’s a struggle,” said Hadjar on if Visa Cash App RB is easier to drive.
“Looking at the Williams – I would like to try Williams for example – I think it is a very good car as well, so yeah, lets see,” summed up Hadjar. When asked about Williams being the best of the midfield considering the results and points gap, he added: “It depends on track characteristics.
“I think we go to places like with bit more high-speed corners, we have the edge on them. If we go to places with straightline speed and slow corners, they are faster. It has been the trend the whole season, so it really depends on the track we are going to. We expect to be strong everywhere, so.”
