哈贾尔因新加坡站遭遇改变对冲刺赛看法
伊萨克·哈贾尔在新加坡大奖赛经历艰难周末后，改变了对F1冲刺赛周末的看法，不再像以前那样喜欢冲刺赛。
为什么伊萨克·哈贾尔不再喜欢F1冲刺赛
哈贾尔过去喜欢冲刺赛，但新加坡大奖赛的痛苦经历让他对这一赛制心生不满
伊萨克·哈贾尔改变了对F1冲刺赛周末的看法，因为他的新加坡大奖赛变成了一场煎熬。
这位红牛车手在滨海湾街道赛道的周末开局不佳，他在第一节练习中抱怨自己的红牛赛车触底过多——尤其是在刹车区——该节练习他比队友马克斯·维斯塔潘慢0.7秒。
冲刺排位赛的情况也好不到哪里去，尽管哈贾尔闯进了SQ3，但他觉得自己“从未跑出一圈好圈速”，并且“只是在与赛车搏斗”。
但这位法国二年级生并没有太多机会去改善赛车的调校。他在SQ3的飞驰圈中报告了引擎问题，在冲刺赛中遭遇了动力单元故障，在主排位赛中遭遇了“四挡损坏”，并在艰难地以第10名完成全距离比赛后，又出现了进一步的动力总成故障。
当然，哈贾尔的困境很大程度上归咎于可靠性问题，而非冲刺赛制，但他仍然觉得，与常规周末的三节练习相比，唯一的一节练习让他无法弥补小红牛22的调校问题。
“这就是这种周末的问题所在，你没法对赛车进行调校工作，”这位22岁的车手在新加坡排位赛后哀叹道。“就像，这不可能。你只能靠运气。根本没有时间工作。”
“我想观众看我们做大量测试并不会觉得有趣，但这对我们很重要，而现在……赛车操控糟透了。我本来很期待今天看看改动带来了什么效果，期待看看我能用运转正常的引擎做些什么，结果我没机会做到。在这样的周末里很难学到任何东西。”

当被问及这种赛制是否为周末增添了准备速度上的刺激与风险时，哈贾尔回答说：“也许它奖励的是那些并没有真正做得很出色的人。也许吧。
“我就是不喜欢它。去年我还喜欢。但实际上，当你长大了一些，身边有一位强劲的队友，工作推进起来，而且……我再也不喜欢冲刺赛了。”
对哈贾尔来说不幸的是，冲刺赛周末的数量将从本赛季的六场增加到2027年的十场。
“我不知道是谁做出这些决定的，”他抱怨道。“明年，我们在摩纳哥有一场冲刺赛。你觉得这到底要怎么进行？你觉得会发生什么？你觉得会有超车吗？”
“不会，”一位记者回答道。“那我们为什么要这么做？”哈贾尔继续说道。“这真的非常令人失望，而且这样的比赛越来越多。”

Why Isack Hadjar doesn’t like F1 sprints anymore
Hadjar used to be fond of sprints, but his bruising Singapore GP experience has left him resentful of the concept
Isack Hadjar has changed his mind about sprint weekends in Formula 1, after his Singapore Grand Prix turned into an ordeal.
The Red Bull racer’s weekend at the Marina Bay Street Circuit started poorly as he complained that his Red Bull bottomed too much – especially in braking zones – in Free Practice 1, where he was seven tenths slower than team-mate Max Verstappen.
Sprint qualifying didn’t go much better, even though Hadjar reached SQ3, as he felt he “never got to have a good lap” and was “just fighting with the car”.
But the French sophomore didn’t get much of a chance to improve his car’s set-up. He reported engine issues on his SQ3 run, had a power unit failure in the sprint race, suffered a ‘broken fourth gear’ in the main qualifying session and brought up further powertrain trouble after struggling to 10th in the full-distance race.
Of course, Hadjar’s hardship was largely down to unreliability rather than the sprint format, but he still felt the single practice session – as opposed to three on a regular weekend – prevented him from remedying his RB22’s set-up woes.
“That's the problem with these weekends where you don't get to work on the car,” the 22-year-old lamented after qualifying in Singapore. “Like, it's impossible. You just kind of need to get lucky. There's no work.
“I guess it's not entertaining for people to watch us do a lot of tests, but it's important to us, and now... The car was handling terribly. I was excited for today to see what the change brought, I was excited to see what I could do with the engine that was working fine, and I don't get to do it. It's hard to learn anything on weekends like that.”

Asked if the format added spice to the weekend for speed of preparation and jeopardy, Hadjar replied: “Maybe it rewards the people that don't really work really well. Maybe.
“I just don't like it. I used to, last year. But actually, when you grow up a bit, you have a tough team-mate next to you, you get the work going and… I don't like the sprint anymore.”
Unfortunately for Hadjar, the number of sprint weekends will increase from six this season to 10 in 2027.
“I don't know who makes these decisions,” he rued. “Next year, we have a sprint race in Monaco. How in the world do you think that's going to happen? What do you think is going to happen? Do you think it's going to be overtakes?”
“No,” a journalist replied. “So why are we doing it?” Hadjar continued. “It's just very disappointing, and there are more and more of them.”
