Watch: Isack Hadjar rages at Alex Albon during the F1 Las Vegas GP Free Practice

Each race weekend, a few drivers are left enraged, and in Las Vegas, it was Isack Hadjar who was fuming in the cockpit during the FP1 for allegedly being impeded by Alex Albon. The Frenchman was on a fast lap, while he came across a slow-moving Williams of Albon at the street track.

F1 is gearing up for the final triple-header of the 2025 season. While the paddock has been looking out for the battle going on at the front for the drivers' championship, a tight battle for the lower constructors' spots has also emerged in the final few race weekends.

So, for drivers of these teams, executing their weekend perfectly is of utmost importance as they can't be leaving points on the table. Though Williams is in a strong position to maintain fifth in the table, Racing Bulls is in a battle with Aston Martin, Haas, and Sauber for sixth place in the standings.

With the weekend getting underway on a Thursday, the same shenanigans of drivers raging over the radio returned. Isack Hadjar was on a quick lap, aiming to dial in his setup, when he came across Albon slowly trundling around the track.

Subsequently, the 21-year-old had an outburst over the radio, as he said:

"Get out! Mate, what is he doing?"

Meanwhile, the Thai-British driver apologized for holding Hadjar back, as he made a sorry gesture from his cockpit.

Isack Hadjar has had some successful races during the 2025 season. Last time out in Brazil, he scored four points for the Faenza-based squad and bumped his points total up to 43.

However, the street track in Las Vegas presents a different kind of challenge, as getting the heat into the tires becomes a crucial task. Hadjar is aware of this hurdle, as he said ahead of the race weekend (via F1):

"At this track I'm going into the unknown, because it's very weird. It's a very low-grip surface with a Monza rear wing. So, it's the lowest grip you'll feel in the whole calendar. It's also like big braking zones, so it's going to be a big setback from Brazil, what I felt underneath me. So, I don't really have expectations, I'm just very curious." "It's going to be difficult. As I said no expectations, really. I'm just open to everything, open-minded, going into FP1; at least I have three practice sessions. So yeah, it's going to be lots of learning, but yeah, it's going to be very different from other weekends."

Hadjar has been the lead point scorer for Racing Bulls this year, as he has mustered seven more points than Liam Lawson for the squad with three race weekends left to go.
