Singapore 2026: Hadjar reported out by gearbox fault

Reports said a gearbox fault left Isack Hadjar without a timed lap in Singapore, putting the French driver last at Marina Bay.

Formula1.com reported that Isack Hadjar failed to complete a timed lap in Singapore qualifying after a gearbox problem at Marina Bay, leaving him classified last. As the supplied material does not include a primary document, the cause should be treated as reported rather than independently confirmed.

Motorsport.com separately reported that Hadjar had also struggled with the car earlier in the weekend, saying he was left confused by its behaviour in sprint qualifying after running fourth in the only practice session on hard tyres. The French driver came into the weekend eighth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 96 points, and across 33 Formula 1 starts over 2025 and 2026 he had one podium, with third place his best result.
