BUDAPEST, Hungary - July 26: Isack Hadjar, the French driver for Oracle Red Bull Racing, will miss the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix due to an injury sustained while training during the summer break. Consequently, both Red Bull and Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, the second team on the roster, will see alterations in their driver lineups.
Liam Lawson, currently a VCARB driver, will replace Hadjar at Red Bull. This marks Lawson's second time joining the senior team; he initially raced with Red Bull during the 2025 season before being moved to VCARB in a swap with Yuki Tsunoda. Tsunoda, meanwhile, will take over from Lawson at VCARB alongside Arvid Lindblad. Tsunoda is also rumored to be a contender for an upcoming IndyCar seat.
Interestingly, Lawson has already filled in for another driver at the Dutch Grand Prix. During the 2023 season at Zandvoort, Daniel Ricciardo suffered a wrist injury while driving for VCARB after colliding with the wall during practice. Lawson stepped in for Ricciardo, finishing the race in 13th place despite only having one hour of practice.
The Dutch Grand Prix is set to kick off in the coming days, with three practice sessions leading up to the crucial qualifying session on Saturday.
