After Q1, Hadjar's anger wasn't due to errors or Sainz, but for some other reason.

Q1 performance left Hadjar upset, yet not for errors related to Sainz.

After Q1, Hadjar's anger wasn't due to errors or Sainz, but for some other reason.

In the thrilling qualifying session for the Italian Grand Prix, Isack Hadjar experienced his first Q1 exit, just six days after securing his first podium in the top class. His teammate, Liam Lawson, also failed to advance to Q2.

Both drivers faced challenges during the session. Lawson struggled with dirty air from a car in front, which caused understeer and sent him off the track. Hadjar, on the other hand, admitted to disliking going into qualifying knowing he'd start last in the race.

Interestingly, Hadjar criticized Carlos Sainz for being "super annoying" during the out lap, claiming Sainz's pushing negatively affected the warming of his tires. This incident adds to the growing tension between the two drivers.

Sainz, who was following a unique strategy during the session, was not off to a great start either. He narrowly avoided an error in the second Lesmo, and his mood seemed less than ideal. However, it was not officially known during the session that his engine would be changed, which would mean a grid penalty for him.

Meanwhile, Red Bull Racing, alongside Mercedes, brought a new floor to Italy, hoping to gain an edge. Lando Norris narrowly lost to Max Verstappen in the qualifying session, with the Dutch driver setting a record lap for pole position, outshining McLaren and Ferrari.

The shape of the floor and edge wing have been modified to generate more load more efficiently. Lawson believes they had a good pace on long runs the previous day and improved the car, but couldn't show it in qualifying.

Overtaking is extremely difficult in Italy, making it difficult for Red Bull Racing to score points in Monza. The race promises to be an exciting test of strategy and driver skill, with Sainz starting from the pit and Hadjar last.

One intriguing aspect of the qualifying session that remains unclear is the name of Sainz's race engineer who gained attention for his driver strategy. As the race approaches, this information may come to light, adding another layer of anticipation to the event.
