Red Bull Retains Dutch GP Line-Up for Italian GP as Hadjar Recovers from Injury

Isack Hadjar will be absent from this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza as he continues his recovery from a wrist fracture sustained during Formula 1's summer break. The injury occurred during a boxing session, sidelining Hadjar and preventing his participation in recent races.

In his absence, Liam Lawson will again take the wheel for Red Bull, having previously replaced Hadjar at the Dutch Grand Prix. Additionally, Yuki Tsunoda will return to the Racing Bulls car, maintaining the team’s competitive presence on the grid.

Red Bull’s decision to maintain the same driver lineup as the Dutch GP underscores their commitment to continuity amid Hadjar’s rehabilitation. The team will monitor his progress closely to determine his readiness for upcoming events.

This lineup adjustment highlights the challenges teams face managing driver fitness and availability during the demanding Formula 1 calendar, especially when unexpected injuries occur outside of racing activities.
