Isack Hadjar's Candid Admission After Hamilton's Heartbreaking Loss to Verstappen in 2021

Isack Hadjar revealed that he 'destroyed the TV' while watching the intense 2021 Abu Dhabi GP showdown between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

The Indonesian driver got emotional as he witnessed Hamilton being pipped to the title on a dramatic evening.

Hadjar confessed that he was watching the championship-deciding race from the comfort of his own home, without any camera crew around.

'There was no camera, no microphone, or anything - just me on the couch, destroying the TV, and that was it.'

Hadjar's admission comes after Hamilton lost to Verstappen in a heart-stopping conclusion to the 2021 F1 season. The English driver was poised to win his eighth world title but was outmaneuvered by Red Bull's clever strategy.

Mercedes had hoped that the Safety Car would help Hamilton clinch the title, but their plans were foiled when Red Bull took advantage of the situation.

Michael Masi, the then-Race Director, made a pivotal call that allowed Verstappen to make a pass on Hamilton and take the championship crown.

Hadjar now gets to share the track with his idol, Lewis Hamilton, after signing with Haas. However, he's also excited to be racing alongside Hamilton's title nemesis, Max Verstappen, with the Dutchman joining him at Red Bull in 2025.
