Isack Hadjar's tearful exit from the Australian Grand Prix has been labelled "embarrassing" by Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko.

That is the challenge facing Formula 1 driver Isack Hadjar as he looks ahead to the Chinese Grand Prix. The rookie was slated for his first Formula 1 race, Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix, but did not reach the starting grid.

It is no secret that Red Bull juniors are under immense pressure to perform, more so than most F1 rookies. Understandably, Hadjar was devastated after committing such a costly error – and Marko’s response certainly won’t make things any better.

Red Bull senior advisor Helmut Marko had no room for sympathy after Isack Hadjar spun out of the Australian Grand Prix. In fact, Marko found it “embarrassing” that the rookie was reduced to tears after his error.
