Hadjar was present in the paddock throughout the weekend in Zandvoort, with his forearm covered by a sleeve. However, the stage at the ‘Temple of Speed’ came faster than the recovery from the injury.
Therefore, Red Bull will maintain the same lineup for the F1 Italian GP: Lawson will race alongside Max Verstappen in the main team, with Tsunoda defending Racing Bulls alongside Arvid Lindblad.
