Red Bull to Keep Dutch GP Driver Line-up for Monza with Hadjar Still Injured
Red Bull said Lawson will again partner Verstappen after Hadjar was ruled out while recovering from a wrist injury sustained during the summer break.
On Wednesday, Red Bull confirmed Liam Lawson will again deputize for Isack Hadjar at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, as the Frenchman continues recovering from a wrist injury sustained during the summer break.
Hadjar, 21, suffered the wrist injury while boxing during the summer break, forcing him to miss the Dutch Grand Prix last month. Red Bull is carefully managing his rehabilitation.
Lawson impressed at the Dutch Grand Prix, finishing seventh and scoring points. Team principal Laurent Mekies said, "He's done a good job stepping into the car," praising his quick adaptation.
Red Bull stated the team is "closely monitoring his rehabilitation and will take no unnecessary risks" with Hadjar's return. The team wishes him a speedy recovery as he makes encouraging progress.
Yuki Tsunoda finished 11th on his return to Racing Bulls at the Italian Grand Prix, placing ahead of teammate Arvid Lindblad after stepping up from his reserve role. These temporary lineups continue at Monza.
