“I can't really remember [the crash] because it went by very quickly. It just felt like a big hit and I didn't see it coming. And the car was broken. I went to the other wall and couldn't stop it.

“It just shows how much you need to be focused and I wasn't.”

Hadjar didn’t leave any blame on his team for the qualifying exclusion which started his demise but accepted it was a nightmare Miami GP for both team and driver.

“Both the team and I made mistakes this weekend. It's been a bit of a disaster from both our sides,” he said. “We need to stick together and see what we can do the next weekend.

“We're happy there's more performance in the car. It's not such a pain now to make it to Q3, which was the first few rounds. Let's just look at the positives and we come back in Canada and hopefully we do a strong one.”

Having seen team-mate Max Verstappen recover from a first-lap spin to take fifth place (subject to a post-race stewards investigation), Hadjar was desperate to know where his true pace would’ve seen him finish in the Miami GP having made such a strong start.

“Honestly I'm itching to get back to it like right now,” he said. “I wish I was driving. I wish I knew what I could have done. It was a good start, so having to wait three weeks [until the Canadian GP] is a bit rough.”
