via thejudge13.comIsack Hadjar Could Miss the Rest of the SeasonIsack Hadjar, the current driver for Red Bull Racing, is facing a serious wrist injury that may keep him out for the remainder of the season. Initially, the team downplayed the severity of the injury, but it has since become clear that rushing him back could exacerbate the issue, especially with the high-speed nature of the upcoming Monza circuit. As a result, Liam Lawson has stepped in as his replacement and performed well during the Dutch Grand Prix, scoring points for the team. Hadjar's journey in Formula 1 has been tumultuous, starting with a crash in his debut race and facing challenges in securing a competitive teammate role at Red Bull. After a series of driver changes, including the demotion of Yuki Tsunoda and the departure of Sergio Pérez, Hadjar had shown promise this season, sitting just 44 points behind Verstappen. However, his injury has raised concerns about his future participation in the remaining races.thejudge13.comWed 26 Aug · 11:22 UTCvia Motorsport.com
