Laurent Mekis praises Isaac Hajjar very much

      Laurent Mekis is very pleased with Isaac Hajjar, the Racing Bulls debutant, who seems to be performing more confidently and showed 9th place in yesterday's qualifying for the sprint.

      Laurent Mekis: "To begin with, on a difficult track in Miami, where Isaac had never been before and had never raced, he immediately broke into the top ten. That was yesterday, and we'll see how his business goes today.

      Natural speed is his main strength. Even in Australia, where he had a dramatic accident on Sunday, he managed to show excellent speed – he was only half a second short of reaching the qualifying finals.

      Secondly, he is distinguished by a very calm approach to business. Isaac is a very humble guy, he absorbs all the advice like a sponge, even if they are very small, and when the engineers explain something to him, he listens very carefully, analyzes everything, and then turns to us again, asks new questions and requests additional information.

      I would say this: the fact that he starts today's sprint behind the riders from the top four teams speaks for itself. Our VCARB 02 is faster than these guys' cars, but it didn't lose much to them.

      But we will make a big mistake if we stop there – we intend to achieve even better results, so we will continue to work and help Isaac develop."
