  "account": "Motorsport photo Red Bull Formula 1 driver Isack Hadjar, 22, has disclosed that he still lacks full wrist movement following a wrist fracture he incurred during the Formula 1 season. Hadjar missed the Dutch, Italian, and Spanish Grands Prix as a result of the injury. Speaking on F1's official Beyond The Grid podcast, Hadjar revealed he did not have complete range of motion but deemed his condition \"good enough.\" He added, \"I had a whole day on the sim on Monday. I did over 100 laps.\" The priority for Hadjar is the car's feel and pain management. Upon his return at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, he secured a third-place finish. Hadjar humorously noted, \"I think I did a very good job on the couch because I got a podium on the couch and I got a contract... It's what I wanted.\" He expressed gratitude for the team's trust during this challenging period.",
