In an interview with the Reuters agency, the Racing Bulls pilot Isack Hadjar also returned to his origins and his dual Franco-Algerian nationality. A “peculiarity” which he translates as an additional force. But also as the responsibility of representing two countries. But also to represent the Arab youth, to the strength of their work … and, without doubt also, of their talent.
The most aware of history, will recall that, strictly, the first North African Formula 1 driver to have never participated in an F1 race was the Franco-Moroccan Robert La Caze, invited to the Grand Prix du Maroc behind the wheel of an F2 in 1958. Another era. 67 years later, it was another Maghreb binational pilot, the Franco-Algerian Isack Hadjar, who intends to be talked about around the world for his track performance. Exceptional freshness when he speaks in front of the mediathe Racing Bulls pilot, only 20 years old, detonates by the exposure of his emotions, whether it likes it or not.
