Lawson replaces injured Hadjar at Dutch GP as Tsunoda returns

Isack Hadjar will miss the Dutch Grand Prix because of a wrist injury. Reports said the injury was sustained in a gym session, and Red Bull has officially confirmed that Liam Lawson will take his place at Zandvoort.

Lawson’s call-up marks another substitute appearance in the Red Bull system at the Dutch circuit. He made his Formula 1 debut at Zandvoort in 2023, when he stepped in for Daniel Ricciardo, and that five-race stint with AlphaTauri helped lead to a full-time promotion.

The reshuffle also brings Yuki Tsunoda back to the Formula 1 grid. He is set to race for Racing Bulls at Zandvoort.
