Liam Lawson replaces injured Isack Hadjar for the Italian Grand Prix

Isack Hadjar will miss the Italian Grand Prix at Monza this weekend due to an ongoing wrist injury. The Red Bull driver sustained the issue during the summer break and was also forced to sit out the recent race in Zandvoort. Liam Lawson, who competed for the team last season, will occupy the seat alongside Max Verstappen for the second consecutive event. Yuki Tsunoda is set to continue filling in for Lawson at the Racing Bulls team. Team officials stated that they are monitoring the recovery process and are prioritizing long-term health, opting against rushing Hadjar back to competition. While Hadjar expressed optimism about his progress during his time in Zandvoort, he remains sidelined. The driver is now targeting a potential return at the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix on the new Madring circuit.
