红牛最欣赏哈贾尔巴库复出中的细节
伊萨克·哈贾尔手腕受伤缺阵三个比赛周幕后在巴库赛道复出,车队领队洛朗·梅基斯称阿塞拜疆大奖赛是他迄今最好的一场比赛,红牛尤其欣赏他的无线电沟通以及与维斯塔潘的配合方式。
红牛对伊萨克·哈贾尔“出色”的F1复出印象最深的一个细节
领队洛朗·梅基斯称阿塞拜疆大奖赛是哈贾尔迄今为止最好的一场比赛。除了他的绝对速度之外,红牛尤其对他的无线电通讯以及他与马克斯·维斯塔潘的配合方式印象深刻。
在手腕受伤之后,伊萨克·哈贾尔复出时驾驶红牛小红牛22,所面对的绝对不是F1赛历上最容易的一条赛道。巴库城市赛道不仅存在相当高的撞车风险,而且在这座城市的老城区周围还有多个技术性极强的路段。
这条赛道需要信心,而尽管缺席了三个比赛周末,哈贾尔却信心十足——他在练习赛结束后就已明确表示,自己的手腕不会成为限制因素。
哈贾尔在里海之滨排位赛获得第四名,随后在正赛中表现得毫无瑕疵,拿下他本赛季的第二个领奖台,也是他职业生涯总的第三个F1领奖台。梅基耶斯在赛后接受书面媒体采访时承认,哈贾尔在巴库的比赛周末给红牛留下了深刻印象。
这位红牛领队说:“我认为伊萨克这个周末的表现非常出色,真的非常出色。”“首先,最重要的是他一上手就感觉良好,没有任何疼痛。这意味着过去几周我们每次见面时都说要等伊萨克以百分之百的状态回归,因为这是首要任务,结果事情正是这样发展的。”
“他坐进赛车里,没有任何疼痛。不过,即使没有疼痛,这也不是一个容易回归的赛道,因为这里没有任何犯错的空间。”
哈贾尔本人也深知这一点,因此在这个最危险之一的街道赛道上,他稳扎稳打地逐步推进自己的比赛周末。
"他一直在一点一点地找回节奏,一节一节地练习与排位,非常冷静,并且充满积极的能量,"梅基斯补充道。"就在昨天,把赛车停在第四位就已经是非常、非常强的成绩了。我认为今天,他在中性胎和软胎上展现出的那种正赛节奏,是我们以前从未见过的。
"所以在他回归的这个周末,他再次提高了标准。我们经常互相说,在赛季前半段,他每次上赛道都能为车队带来一些新的东西,而现在他仍在继续这样做。"
红牛对哈贾尔成熟的车队无线电沟通印象深刻
除了他的绝对速度之外,还有另一个方面让梅基斯印象深刻:哈贾尔在第一段 赛段中的表现方式。红牛要求这位年轻的法国车手把位置让给维斯塔潘,但即使这位四届世界冠军在倍耐力的中性胎上遇到困难,哈贾尔依然保持冷静。
“除此之外,请允许我说一句,他在与维斯塔潘的对抗中也跑得非常聪明,对轮胎的管理非常有纪律,”梅基斯说。“这使得他们两人之间以及与维修区墙之间形成了非常、非常强的团队合作。最终这带来了可能取得的最好成绩。”
这表明哈贾尔在这方面也在取得进步。在青训车队的各个赛事级别以及他F1生涯的第一年里,哈贾尔在车队电台里常常显得比较急躁冲动,但巴库的周六则完全相反。
当然,跑了几圈之后,哈贾尔询问自己是否可以自由进攻——车队回应他必须保持干净——但在此之前的车队无线电通话很能说明问题。当被问及在干净空气中哈贾尔能快多少时,这位车手回答说:“两到三个十分之一秒,但说实话,我很高兴能在这里。”
换句话说,哈贾尔并不需要夺回这个位置,从而最大化了两位车手的比赛用时,也由此提升了红牛的机会。当Motorsport.com就这个具体时刻向梅基斯提问时,可以清楚地看出,这正是最令这位领队印象深刻的地方。
梅基斯说:“我认为你正好抓住了正确的细节,这能让你对正确的画面有更深入的理解。”
“这说明了这孩子的比赛多么聪明,他在车内开发了多么强大的思维能力,以及他成功地掌控了多少情绪。”
“这些都是他在所有这些领域所取得进步的许多标志,此外他还产出了更快的速度。所以正是这样的成长轨迹,从他加入车队以来每天都在打动着我们,或许去年也是如此。”
“也正因为如此,我们想为他提供最好的环境来继续成长,因为这种进步确实令人印象深刻。”
提供尽可能好的环境包括续约至2027年及其时机。梅基斯承认红牛故意这样做是为了卸下哈贾尔肩上的所有压力,而当他在媒体环节结束时离开时,梅基斯笑道:“我认为伊萨克今天回报了我们的信任!”

The one detail that impresses Red Bull most about Isack Hadjar's "outstanding" F1 return
Team principal Laurent Mekies called the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Hadjar's best race so far. Besides his outright pace, Red Bull is particularly impressed by his radio messages and the way he worked with Max Verstappen
After his wrist injury, Isack Hadjar certainly did not return behind the wheel of the Red Bull RB22 at the easiest track on the Formula 1 calendar. The Baku City Circuit not only carries a considerable risk of crashes, but also features several very technical sections around the city's old town.
It requires confidence, but Hadjar had plenty of it despite missing three race weekends – having already made clear after practice that his wrist would not be a limiting factor.
Hadjar qualified fourth on the shores of the Caspian Sea and then produced a faultless race to claim his second podium of the season and his third F1 podium overall. His race weekend in Baku impressed Red Bull, Mekies acknowledged when addressing the written media post-race.
"I think it was outstanding what Isack has produced this weekend, really outstanding," Red Bull's team principal said. "At first, the most important thing is that straight away he felt good in the car, no pain. It means that every time we met together in the last few weeks and we said we will wait for Isack to come back at 100% because that's the priority, well, that's what happened.
"He was in the car, he didn't have any pain. Nonetheless, even without pain, this is not an easy track to come back to because there is no margin for error."
Hadjar himself was well aware of the latter and therefore built up his weekend steadily at one of the most treacherous street circuits.
"He has been building up his rhythm, session after session, very calmly, and with a lot of positive energy," Mekies added. "Already yesterday, to stick the car in P4 was a very, very strong result. I think today, the sort of race pace that he has shown on the medium and on the soft, is something we had not seen before.
"So on the weekend of his return, he has raised the bar again. We say to each other very often that we have seen him adding something to the business every time he was going out on track in the first part of the season, and he is continuing to do that."
Red Bull impressed by Hadjar's mature radio communication
Aside from his outright pace, there is another aspect that impressed Mekies: the way Hadjar conducted himself during the first stint. Red Bull asked the young Frenchman to give up his position to Verstappen, but even when the four-time world champion struggled with Pirelli's medium tyre, Hadjar remained calm.
"And on top of that, allow me to say that he also raced extremely cleverly with Max, very disciplined with his tyres," Mekies said. "It allowed us to have very, very strong teamwork between the two of them and between the pitwall. That has ultimately produced the best result possible."
It underlines that Hadjar is also making progress in that respect. In the junior categories and during the first year of his F1 career, Hadjar could often come across as hot-headed over the team radio, but Saturday in Baku was the exact opposite.
Of course, after several laps Hadjar asked whether he was free to attack – to which the team responded that he had to keep it clean – but the radio communication that preceded it was telling. When asked how much quicker Hadjar could go in clean air, the man behind the wheel replied: "Two or three tenths, but I’m honestly happy to be here."
In other words, Hadjar did not need the position back, thereby maximising the race time of both drivers and, with it, Red Bull’s chances. When Motorsport.com asked Mekies about this specific moment, it was clear that this is what impressed the team principal most of all.
"I think you are pinpointing exactly on the right details that make you understand a lot more about the right pictures," Mekies said.
"It shows you how cleverly the kid is racing, and how much of brain capacity he is developing while in the car, and also how much emotional control he is managing to have.
"Those are as many indicators of the steps he has made in all these areas, on top of producing more speed. So it's exactly that trajectory that has been impressing us every day since he has joined the team, and probably last year as well.
"And also for that, we want to give him the best possible environment to continue to develop because that step was truly impressive."
Providing that best possible environment includes the contract extension for 2027 and the timing of it. Mekies acknowledges that Red Bull deliberately did so to take all the pressure off Hadjar’s shoulders, and as he walks away at the end of the media session, Mekies laughs: "I think Isack repaid our faith today!"
