Lawson Steps in for Injured Hadjar at Dutch GP
Isack Hadjar has withdrawn from the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix due to a wrist injury sustained during the summer shutdown, as announced by Red Bull on Wednesday. Liam Lawson from sister team Racing Bulls will replace Hadjar at the Zandvoort event, which marks Formula 1's return from the summer break.
Lawson's return to Red Bull follows a challenging two-race stint at the start of the 2025 season before his demotion to Racing Bulls. Hadjar currently holds 68 points in the drivers' world championship standings, trailing behind teammate Max Verstappen, while Lawson is 25 points behind Hadjar.
Hadjar achieved his first F1 podium finish at the previous year's Dutch Grand Prix and has a best result of fourth in Monaco this season. Lawson made his F1 debut at Zandvoort in 2023, stepping in for Daniel Ricciardo.
Yuki Tsunoda will replace Lawson at Racing Bulls for this weekend's race.
