Isack Hadjar delivered a scathing assessment of his Red Bull F1 car after the Japanese Grand Prix, describing it as undriveable to the point of being dangerous. The Frenchman qualified eighth but quickly dropped positions, finishing 12th after struggling with what he called an "empty battery" issue that left him powerless during critical moments.

Hadjar's race deteriorated further when he pitted under safety car conditions, dropping him to 13th before battling back against Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto. The driver clashed with Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad, who received a last-warning flag for aggressive braking, but Hadjar acknowledged his young opponent's determination while noting the Red Bull car's fundamental performance issues.

With just four points from the first three rounds, Hadjar expressed frustration about the lack of solutions emerging from the team. "I can drive the car fast, but we have no lead on how we can make the car fast," he stated bluntly. The five-week break offers little cause for optimism as Red Bull struggles to resolve what Hadjar described as a dangerous handling characteristic.
