Hadjar Eyes Monza Return Amid Wrist Injury Worries
Red Bull's Isack Hadjar hopes to return at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix in Monza but the team is concerned that racing on the high-speed layout could worsen his wrist injury and end his season early.
Injury Forces Dutch GP Absence
Red Bull confirmed that Isack Hadjar sustained a wrist injury during the summer shutdown, ruling him out of the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix.[1] Liam Lawson stepped into the Red Bull seat for the event, while Yuki Tsunoda returned to Racing Bulls.[1]
Hope for Monza Return
Hadjar remains hopeful of racing at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, the next event on the calendar after a one-week break.[2]
Team Concerns Over Monza Layout
Red Bull fears that any attempt to race at Monza could aggravate the wrist injury on the demanding high-speed layout and potentially sideline Hadjar for the remainder of the 2026 season.[3]
