Racing Bulls Eye Constructor Championship Top Five
As the season progresses, Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar has expressed optimism regarding the team’s chances of achieving a record finish in the constructors’ championship. After a noteworthy series of performances, the team has climbed from eighth to sixth place in the standings, outpacing fifth-placed Williams by a substantial margin.
Recent Performance and Goals
Hadjar, who has been a major contributor to the team’s points tally this season, states a top five finish is a realistic goal. During an interview, he reflected on the positive trajectory of the team’s performance, highlighting their recent racing success. "Last week was very good. We’re heading in the right direction. It’s a shame on my side I didn’t get the points, but thankfully Liam [Lawson] did," Hadjar noted.
Upcoming Challenges
Heading into the upcoming weekend, the Racing Bulls sit just 19 points behind Williams. Historically, the team has yet to reach a top five finish under any of its previous names. As Toro Rosso, the highest they achieved was sixth place in 2008 and 2019, while under the AlphaTauri name, they also finished sixth in 2021.
Key Insights from Recent Races
Hadjar acknowledged the positives from recent races despite some setbacks. For instance, he was on track to add to the team’s points until car damage impacted his performance. "There were a lot of positives from last weekend. I think we had a good, very strong race on Sunday. Obviously in qualifying I made a mistake, but we had good recovery," he said.
Team Dynamics
Looking forward, the collaboration between Hadjar and Lawson seems promising. The duo aims to work together effectively, focusing on maximizing their efforts to propel the team further in the standings. Hadjar mentioned that in the constructors’ championship, having two drivers gives them double the opportunity to score points, aiding their climb up the ranks.
Conclusion
With the mid-season checkpoint approaching, the Racing Bulls are set on achieving their best-ever result in the constructors’ championship. Hadjar's confidence and the team's upward momentum make it a pivotal moment as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
