The French driver, who is executing a strong 2026 campaign, suffered a wrist injury, with a final decision pending a official medical review. Should he be ruled out, Liam Lawson has been selected to substitute at Milton Keynes, while Yuki Tsunoda would fill the resulting vacancy at Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to initial reports from Dutch outlet <em>De Telegraaf<\/em> on Wednesday, August 19, Hadjar sustained the injury during a workout, with the BBC adding that the incident occurred during a boxing training session. If medical staff deem Hadjar unfit to compete at Zandvoort, Red Bull aims to have him back for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, scheduled for September 4\u20136.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/f1\/albon-renews-contract-williams-check-2027-f1-grid-breakdown\/\">Hadjar made his F1 debut in 2025 with Racing Bulls<\/a> and earned a promotion to Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen for 2026 after an impressive rookie season that included a podium finish at Zandvoort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liam Lawson previously endured a brief stint with Red Bull early in 2025 before swapping seats with Yuki Tsunoda.
