Hadjar returns to Red Bull for Azerbaijan GP after wrist injury
The 21-year-old French driver will reclaim his seat from substitute Liam Lawson after missing three races.
What to know
- Hadjar returns to Red Bull's cockpit at the Azerbaijan GP (Sept 24-26) after a three-race absence for a wrist injury sustained during boxing.
- Liam Lawson substituted effectively but inconsistently—scoring in Netherlands (7th) and Madrid (6th) but failing to score at Monza (14th)—and returns to Racing Bulls.
- Red Bull waited until Hadjar was fully recovered rather than risking an early return that could compromise long-term fitness.
“It's quite tricky to mentally prepare for what car I'm going to drive. But, at the same time, like I said, the more time I drive this, I get more comfortable. Going back now will be quite tough.”
