哈贾尔认为红牛在新加坡大奖赛并未拥有最快赛车

维斯塔潘在连续赢得巴林大奖赛、马来西亚大奖赛和新加坡大奖赛两场胜利后,迎来了本周末的美国大奖赛。这位荷兰车手在滨海湾街道赛道统治了整个比赛周末,在冲刺赛和大奖赛中均夺得杆位,并赢下了两场比赛。
但在奥斯汀的车手新闻发布会上,哈贾尔淡化了米尔顿凯恩斯车队如今拥有赛道上最快赛车的说法。
“不,因为我认为这辆车仍然很难驾驶。在马来西亚,它很有统治力,但我不认为在新加坡它是最快的赛车。”
当被追问原因时——鉴于这位四届世界冠军以7.3秒的优势击败了第二名夏尔·勒克莱尔——哈贾尔补充道:“这就是我的看法。我认为如果你把马克斯放进法拉利,他会以更大的优势赢得比赛。所以这是我的观点。”
哈贾尔表示,维斯塔潘充分利用了自己拥有的每一项优势,而不是依赖红牛赛车的速度。

“他以十分之一个十分之一秒的优势夺得杆位。法拉利在正赛中没有新轮胎,软胎也没有,所以这也有影响,”这位法国-阿尔及利亚车手解释道。“他把所有机会都放在自己这边,在第三节排位赛中拉开了差距,这就足够了。”
有趣的是,与哈贾尔一同出席新闻发布会的迈凯伦车手奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里表示,红牛在阿塞拜疆大奖赛引入的升级“非常强劲”,并且它已成为过去几场比赛中“速度最稳定的赛车”。
在还剩六轮比赛的情况下,红牛在车队积分榜上排名第四,落后第三名迈凯伦七分。维斯塔潘也以221分在车手积分榜上排名第四,逼近以229分排名第三的刘易斯·汉密尔顿,而哈贾尔以97分排名第八。

Isack Hadjar: Max Verstappen would have won Singapore GP by more in a Ferrari
Isack Hadjar believes Red Bull did not have the fastest car at the Singapore Grand Prix
For Red Bull fans. Keeping watch on Red Bull Racing, with F1 news, driver updates, technical insight and race analysis from Milton Keynes.
Isack Hadjar has argued that Red Bull did not have the fastest car at the Singapore Grand Prix, and believes his team-mate Max Verstappen would have won by a bigger margin had he been driving a Ferrari.
Verstappen heads into this weekend's United States Grand Prix on the back of two consecutive wins at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and the Singapore Grand Prix. The Dutchman dominated the race weekend at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, claiming pole position for both the sprint race and grand prix, and winning both races.
But while speaking in the drivers' press conference in Austin, Hadjar played down suggestions the Milton Keynes outfit now has the fastest car on the grid.
"No, because I think the car is still very hard to drive. In Malaysia, it was dominant, but I don't think in Singapore it was the fastest car."
When pressed on why, given the four-time champion had won by 7.3 seconds over second-placed Charles Leclerc, Hadjar added: "That’s what I believe. I think if you put Max in the Ferrari, he would have won the race with more margin. So that’s my opinion."
Hadjar said Verstappen made the most of every advantage he had, rather than relying on the pace of his Red Bull machinery.

"He qualified on pole by half a tenth. Ferrari didn’t have new tyres in the race, not on the soft, so this has an effect as well," the French-Algerian driver explained. "He put all the chances on his side, he made the difference in Q3 and that was enough."
Interestingly, McLaren's Oscar Piastri, who joined Hadjar in the press conference, said that Red Bull's upgrades introduced at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix were "very strong" and that it had become "the most consistently quick car" over the last few races.
With six rounds remaining, Red Bull sits fourth in the constructors' championship, seven points behind McLaren in third. Verstappen is also fourth in the drivers' standings with 221 points, closing in on Lewis Hamilton in third on 229 points, and Hadjar is eighth with 97 points.
