Isack Hadjar says he expects a five-place grid penalty for the race on 4 October. He said his chances of moving forwards would depend on Red Bull’s race pace, even if he starts five places lower. RacingNews365 Nederland calls the event the Bahrain Grand Prix but says it will take place at Sepang in Malaysia. [1]
Hadjar said Baku’s layout had suited the Red Bull and that an upgrade had helped there. He expects the car to be less competitive on a more conventional circuit, though he said a podium challenge in Malaysia might still be possible. [1]
