Isack Hadjar set to miss Dutch Grand Prix with likely Red Bull replacement revealed
The French driver looks set to be absent from Max Verstappen’s home race as F1 returns this weekend
Isack Hadjar is set to miss the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix due to a wrist injury. The French driver, who secured his only F1 podium finish at last year's race in Zandvoort, is expected to miss Red Bull's return to Formula 1 after the summer break. Liam Lawson from Racing Bulls is the most probable replacement for Hadjar, who would then partner Max Verstappen for the weekend.
This would see Yuki Tsunoda, previously dropped from Red Bull's lineup but serving as the team's reserve driver, return to race alongside Arvid Lindblad in the junior team's garage. This is a significant setback for the 21-year-old Hadjar, who was promoting a unique race helmet for the final Dutch round as recently as Monday. It remains uncertain whether Hadjar will be healthy enough to compete at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, scheduled two weeks later.
Currently, Hadjar stands eighth in the Drivers' Championship, 24 points behind Oscar Piastri in seventh and 51 points away from his teammate Verstappen in sixth.
