Hadjar nearly hits Red Bull pit crew during Brazil stop

Isack Hadjar has described how he almost collided with his Red Bull pit crew during a late pit stop at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Rain began to fall in the closing stages at Interlagos, prompting drivers to switch from slick tyres to intermediates as the race ended.

Hadjar finished third, his team's third podium of the season, with Max Verstappen second. He said the stop was tough in the difficult pit lane, and praised his crew for keeping their calm and completing a fast stop. He also acknowledged that switching from intermediate to soft tyres was extremely difficult.

Hadjar said he needed to make fewer mistakes, adding that he could have avoided an awkward situation with Verstappen and wanted to apologise for it.
