After crossing the line third, Hadjar said he came close to running into his pit crew during a stop and praised them for staying calm and completing it quickly.

Isack Hadjar said he came close to running into his pit crew during a stop at the Brazilian Grand Prix. He said he had the situation under control in the end and thanked the crew for staying calm and completing a very quick stop.

Hadjar started fifth and crossed the finish line third. He described the switch from intermediate tyres to softs as particularly difficult, said the pit lane made it hard to avoid mistakes, and added that rain arrived towards the end of the race.

Although pleased with third, the Red Bull driver said he needed to make fewer mistakes and could have kept the car on track more during that stint.
