Hadjar to Miss Italian Grand Prix as Tsunoda Returns to Racing
Isack Hadjar will not compete in the Italian Grand Prix as he continues to recover from a wrist injury sustained during the summer break. This decision extends a series of substitutions within the team.
Liam Lawson will again race alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull, while Yuki Tsunoda will take Lawson's previous spot at Racing Bulls. Hadjar's recovery is progressing, but Red Bull is cautious about his return, having already missed the Zandvoort race.
Lawson performed well in the Netherlands, qualifying strongly and finishing seventh, which has led Red Bull to maintain their current lineup for Monza. Tsunoda, who finished 11th at Zandvoort, is eager to showcase his skills again. Additionally, Ayumu Iwasa will drive Verstappen's car during the opening practice session before Verstappen resumes driving.
