Khajar: Missing the race turned out to be quite unpleasant.

      Red Bull Racing driver Isaac Hajar missed the Dutch Grand Prix due to a wrist injury and shared his feelings in an interview with L’Equipe…

      Isaac Hajar: “Missing the race turned out to be quite unpleasant. I have been racing since I was seven, I am now 21, and I have never missed a race weekend due to injury. It was very strange not to participate and to watch what was happening from the sidelines, but it is what it is.

      For the first time, I followed the weekend’s events without participating in them, and it’s interesting in its own way. There is always something to learn. During a race weekend, I usually focus on solving specific tasks, I feel like I’m in a ‘tunnel’ and sometimes miss information that could be useful to me.

      The advice from [Moto GP champion] Marc Marquez helped me make my decision. After getting injured, I heard a lot of advice from doctors, but it was important for me to know the opinion of a driver who had faced something similar. He told me that in such a situation, you just need to skip the weekend to avoid taking a bigger risk.”
