Red Bull Formula 1 team principal Laurent Mekies says Isack Hadjar's radio anger in Monaco was understandable given the number of issues the Frenchman faced on his way to third.
Hadjar's drive to a first Red Bull podium was anything but a leisurely Sunday cruise. If the mental load of 78 laps around Monaco with the 2026 cars wasn't taxing enough, the young Frenchman was subjected to various car and power unit gremlins throughout. The exact extent of his issues may not have been fully clear at the time, but the fact Hadjar was clearly dealing with various problems behind the wheel came out the way we're accustomed to, with the 21-year-old making his displeasure known through heated radio exchanges.
