Christian Horner took a softer view of Isack Hadjar’s emotional reaction to crashing out before his F1 debut than Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko.

    I’m with Horner. It’s easy to forget these are just kids.

    Imagine spending your life from childhood working towards a dream, then your very first race you spin out before the race begins. That just sucks.

    To Hadjar’s credit he was not the last or most experienced driver to spin out, it was difficult conditions, he was just the most unlucky in his timing.

    Also, I’m glad this younger generation can be more open with their emotions. I noticed in Drive to Survive they are, which I think is good.
