Max Verstappen admitted heโd be starting P6 at Spa without Isack Hadjarโs 3-tenth tow... ๐ค๐
When a driver turns a guaranteed 30-place engine penalty into a tactical masterclass for their teammate, that is peak Formula 1 synergy.
Facing a back-of-the-grid start at Spa-Francorchamps, Isack Hadjar completely sacrificed his own Q3 run to act as a high-speed slipstream service for Max Verstappen.
Hadjar punched a massive hole in the air through the high-speed sections at over 300 km/h, towing the Dutchman and shaving three crucial tenths of a second off his time.
That selfless execution launched Verstappen onto the front row in P2โa spot Max admitted would have been a lowly P6 without Hadjarโs help.
Do you think junior and secondary drivers should regularly be deployed as tow partners in qualifying, or does it compromise the purity of a single-lap battle?
What are your thoughts? ๐ค๐ญ
