Hadjar says Ferrari was fastest in Singapore

Isack Hadjar believes Ferrari, rather than Red Bull, had Formula 1’s fastest car at the Singapore Grand Prix. Ahead of the United States Grand Prix, he also said Max Verstappen would have won Singapore by an even larger margin in a Ferrari, explicitly calling that his opinion.

Verstappen had won the two latest races for Red Bull, in Malaysia and Singapore. Hadjar described the Red Bull as dominant in Malaysia but said its car remained difficult to drive and was not, in his view, the fastest in Singapore.

Hadjar cited Verstappen’s pole by half a tenth and credited him with making the difference in Q3. He also noted Ferrari had no fresh tyres left for the race, including no fresh softs, a factor he said should be taken into account.
