Isack Hadjar's Injury Puts Spanish Grand Prix Participation in Doubt

Isack Hadjar's wrist injury could lead to his absence from the Spanish Grand Prix next week, marking a potential third consecutive race missed due to recovery concerns.

Red Bull has confirmed that Hadjar will not participate in the Italian Grand Prix, with Liam Lawson set to race alongside Max Verstappen. Although Hadjar is reportedly making progress, he recently attempted a simulator session at Red Bull's Milton Keynes facility to assess his readiness, but this was insufficient for clearance to race in Monza.

The upcoming race in Madrid presents additional challenges, as the circuit features more corners and less opportunity for rest, making it crucial for Red Bull to ensure Hadjar can handle the demands of a full race weekend. Meanwhile, Lawson's recent performance and Yuki Tsunoda's successful return have provided Red Bull with reliable alternatives, but Hadjar remains the preferred choice once he is fit.
