Red Bull will make a last-minute change to its lineup for the Formula 1 Dutch GP. Isack Hadjar will miss the Zandvoort stage after suffering a wrist injury during training during the category's summer break.

With the Frenchman's absence, Liam Lawson will be called up by the main team to share the garage with Max Verstappen. The New Zealander temporarily leaves Racing Bulls and returns to the team with which he started the 2025 season before being replaced after just two races.

The move also makes room for Yuki Tsunoda's return to Formula 1. Current reserve driver for both Red Bull teams, the Japanese is expected in the Racing Bulls car alongside Arvid Lindblad during the weekend in Zandvoort.

Hadjar joined Red Bull's main team this season after excelling in his first year in Formula 1, in 2025, for Racing Bulls. The performance of the Frenchman, who achieved his first podium at Zandvoort last year, led the team to choose him as Verstappen's new teammate for 2026.

The injury interrupts a consistent season for the 21-year-old driver. Before the Dutch GP, Hadjar occupies eighth place in the Drivers' World Championship, with 68 points. Lawson appears right behind in the classification.

Lawson gets new opportunity at Red BullFor Lawson, the race represents an unexpected return to the main team. The New Zealander started 2025 as Verstappen's teammate, but lost his place after the first two stages of that championship. At the time, Tsunoda was promoted and Lawson returned to Racing Bulls.

The Japanese remained at Red Bull until the end of 2025, but was unable to secure a place in the starting lineup for the following season. With Hadjar's promotion and Lindblad's arrival at Racing Bulls, Tsunoda began to serve as test and reserve driver for both teams.

The Dutch GP marks the resumption of the World Championship after the summer break. The stage will be held between the 21st and 23rd of August at the Zandvoort circuit and will also feature a sprint race.

The expectation is that Hadjar will have more time to recover before the next stage of the championship, the Italian GP, in Monza, scheduled for the beginning of September.
