“He’ll know about it but I feel sorry for him there because it just broke loose," Martin Brundle said during the Sky Sports F1 broadcast.
“He was on the right part of the track and it started to slide, and he was carrying so much speed. I feel sorry for the lad there. He was pushing on, there was nothing he could do.”
With high winds as well as a bumpy track, it's a tough race for the drivers under changing conditions.
With Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli still waiting in the pitlane, they were the only two drivers who are yet to use their tyres during qualifying, although Verstappen was confirmed to be on used soft rubber.
Hadjar will start at the back of the grid for tomorrow's grand prix after starting and finishing the sprint race in 12th.
