Everyone remembers the "spectacle" that interrupted the first start of the Australian Grand Prix, Isaac Hadjar's accident, the young driver's despair, and Anthony Hamilton's comfort.
Helmut Marko also recalled that he described Hadjar's behavior as "hot," even immature and unbecoming of an athlete. Ralf Schumacher, for his part, was not pleased with Marko's opinion.
"I wouldn't have done that, but I understand how difficult it is for a driver preparing for his first F1 race to deal with that at that moment. He had delivered a sensational performance up until that point, he had the opportunity to make his debut with a good result and points, and this is what happened. He felt like he had let his team down. Not to mention the fact that Red Bull isn't exactly an environment where they are very tolerant of mistakes... But for his despair and tears to be ridiculous? On the contrary, I think that can happen to anyone in such circumstances. It's cool to own your emotions!" - Schumacher defended the young driver in a sporting manner.
What do you think, is it really embarrassing for an athlete to cry?
