哈贾尔自责与拉塞尔的碰撞“毁掉”了他的墨西哥站
哈贾尔认为他本可以避免这次碰撞，有几个原因，拉塞尔因此受到处罚
哈贾尔对在F1墨西哥站与拉塞尔的碰撞承担了部分责任，而他在那场比赛中奇迹般地拿到两个积分。
哈贾尔在罗德里格斯兄弟赛道排位赛位列第七，落后红牛队友维斯塔潘0.2秒、三个名次，但凭借不错的起步上升了两个位置。
这位法国车手当时正在抵挡拉塞尔，但梅赛德斯车手仍然将自己的前轮保持在哈贾尔后轮旁边，而不是在进入6号弯时收油退出，导致红牛赛车打转。
“很遗憾，”哈贾尔说。“老实说，我没想到乔治会在6号弯把车轮伸进来，因为那个弯完全是我的。我意识到他在那里，最终我不该信任他，但这种事就是会发生。显然，很遗憾，这完全毁了我的比赛。
“对我来说，老实说，如果今天发生这种事，第一圈的事故是我的错。如果我昨天做得更好，我就不会从第七位发车，也许我们正在争夺比领奖台更好的成绩，就不会在路上遇到乔治。这种事会发生，但在前方最大化你的机会更好。我本应该做得更好。”
拉塞尔跳过了赛后媒体职责，因此没有对这次事故发表看法，他被罚10秒，而哈贾尔则落到第22位，底板有“轻微损伤”。除了挣扎的阿斯顿·马丁车手之外，他是第一个进站的车手，在第7圈。
他说：“第一段用中性胎时的速度，只要我处于干净气流中，就很好。当我们进站换上软胎时，我只跑了两圈（就出了安全车和红旗），但我感觉超级快。在那第一圈里，我想‘好了，我有机会上领奖台’，然后一切就结束了。”
第一次换胎后，哈贾尔先后超越了瓦尔特利·博塔斯、平川亮、卡洛斯·塞恩斯和塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯。他运气不佳，在安全车和红旗出现前不久进站；之后对塞恩斯、尼科·霍肯伯格、佩雷斯和亚历克斯·阿尔本的进一步超越仅让他升至第12位，因为他难以在车阵中杀出重围。
他解释道：“每个人都有直线模式（SM模式）。这只是一列赛车，根本没有真正超车的办法。我真的很挣扎。我甚至和佩雷斯有过一场精彩的较量。他在直道上刹车非常晚，我实在追不上。这太难了。
最后，墨西哥赛道不像以前那样是可以超车的地方了。由于温度、海拔，一旦你跟在别人后面，一切都过热了。”
在奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里、皮埃尔·加斯利和弗兰科·科拉平托的处罚公布之前——这意味着他最终继承了第九名——哈贾尔只能从这场比赛中看到一个积极之处。
“我们[两次起步]都发车不错，这大概是我今年一段时间以来最好的一次起步，”他说。“我们需要为我们所做的工作感到高兴。现在我们需要弄清楚为什么效果这么好，以便能够重现。”
尽管如此，这对哈贾尔来说又是一个艰难的周末，他在最近三场大奖赛中仅获得11分——少于利亚姆·劳森的18分。
“现在很令人沮丧，”这位22岁的车手承认。“马来西亚，我们遇到了部署问题；新加坡，一直有可靠性问题；奥斯汀，糟糕的起步，我被错误的模式困住了。所有事情都凑到一起，所以我现在周日总是很糟糕。一旦一切顺畅起来，就会顺畅起来，那将会很好。”

Isack Hadjar blames himself for George Russell clash that “ruined” his Mexico GP
There are several reasons why Hadjar feels he could have avoided the collision, which Russell was penalised for
Isack Hadjar has taken some responsibility for his collision with George Russell at Formula 1’s Mexico GP, in which he miraculously scored two points.
Hadjar qualified down in seventh at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, two tenths and three spots away from Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen, but gained two positions courtesy of a decent start.
The Frenchman was holding off Russell, but the Mercedes racer still kept his front tyres alongside Hadjar’s rear wheels instead of backing out going into Turn 6, sending the Red Bull into a spin.
“It's a shame,” Hadjar said. “I honestly did not expect George to stick a wheel up Turn 6, because the corner was completely mine. I was aware of him, and I shouldn't have trusted him in the end, but it happens. Clearly, it's a shame, it's completely ruined my race.
“To me, honestly, it's my fault if that happened today, the lap-one incident. If I had done a better job yesterday, I wouldn't be starting seventh, maybe we are fighting for better than a podium and we don't meet George on the way. These things happen, but it's better to maximise your chance at the front. I should have done a better job.”
Russell, who skipped post-race media duties and therefore did not weigh in on the incident, copped a 10-second penalty, while Hadjar found himself down in 22nd, with “little damages on the floor”. Other than the struggling Aston Martins, he was the first driver to pit, on lap seven.
“Pace on the medium on the first stint, any time I had free air, was good,” he said. “When we pitted for the soft, I only did two laps [before the safety car and red flag], but I felt super quick. During that lap one, I was like ‘OK, I have a shot for the podium’, and then it was finished.”
Following his first tyre change, Hadjar successively overtook Valtteri Bottas, Ryo Hirakawa, Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez. He was unlucky to pit shortly before the safety car and red flag; further moves on Sainz, Nico Hulkenberg, Perez and Alex Albon brought him up to 12th only, as he struggled to fight his way through the field.
“Everyone has SM mode [straight mode],” he explained. “It's just a train of cars and there's no way to really overtake. I really struggled. I even had a great fight with Checo. He was very late on the brakes in the straight, I wasn't really catching up. It was terribly hard.
“In the end, it's not like Mexico used to be a track where you could overtake [previously]. With the temperatures, the altitude, everything is on fire once you're following someone.”
Speaking before penalties were announced for Oscar Piastri, Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto – meaning he inherited ninth place after all – Hadjar could only see one positive from the race.
“We had a good launch [at both starts], and probably my best start in a while this year,” he said. “We need to be happy about the job we did. Now we need to understand why it went so well so we can reproduce it.”
Still, this was yet another tough weekend for Hadjar, who has scored just 11 points across the last three grands prix – fewer than Liam Lawson’s 18.
“It's frustrating now,” the 22-year-old admitted. “Malaysia, we had a deployment issue; Singapore, reliability all the time; Austin, terrible start, I was blocked in the wrong map. Everything is lining up so I have a terrible Sunday at the moment. Once it clicks, it's going to click and it's going to be nice.”
