Isaac Hadjar: The first podium is only the first step.

      Thanks to third place in Zandvoort, Isaac Hadjar became the 219th driver in Formula 1 history to reach the podium. The result moved the Racing Bulls driver up to tenth in the drivers' standings, and the team up to seventh in the Constructors' Championship.

      His teammate Liam Lawson suffered a puncture during the race after his car was hit by Carlos Sainz, and finished twelfth.

      Isaac Hadjar (3rd): "The result feels a bit unreal. The biggest surprise for me was that I held fourth place throughout the race. We took advantage of Lando Norris's retirement, but we didn't make a single mistake during the race.

      The car was like it was on rails all weekend, and I'm very happy that I was able to get the maximum out of it, avoid mistakes and finish on the podium. I'm very happy for the team.

      I've dreamed of standing on the podium since I was a child. The first podium is only the first step. I hope even greater success awaits me ahead."
