Isack Hadjar will miss the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, marking his third consecutive race absence due to a hairline wrist fracture sustained during a boxing training session. 

Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies stated that the decision to keep Hadjar out of the cockpit is intended to ensure he returns at ‘100% capacity’ to avoid delaying his full recovery. While Hadjar’s recovery is progressing as planned, the team intends to use the break before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to evaluate his readiness through simulator testing.

Liam Lawson will step in to replace Hadjar for the third straight weekend. Lawson, who previously finished seventh in Zandvoort and faced challenges in Monza due to front-wing contact, will move up to the main Red Bull seat. Consequently, Yuki Tsunoda will fill the vacancy at Racing Bulls.
