Hadjar suffers wrist injury, Lawson lined up for Zandvoort

Isack Hadjar is likely to sit out the Dutch Grand Prix after suffering a wrist injury during a gym session ahead of Zandvoort, according to Dutch outlet De Limburger. Red Bull’s plan is reportedly to rest the French driver this weekend and have him back for Monza. His absence would set off a domino effect: Liam Lawson is expected to step into the Red Bull seat, returning to F1 after his brief and difficult stint alongside Max Verstappen at the start of 2025.

The reshuffle would also benefit Yuki Tsunoda, who would rejoin Racing Bulls for his first Grand Prix weekend since 2025. The news has already spread across social media, with official confirmation from Red Bull still pending. If validated, the move would mark a significant shake‑up for the team heading into one of the most atmospheric weekends on the calendar.
