Article To news overview © XPBimages Liam Lawson will once again step into the Red Bull at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, with Isack Hadjar still recovering from the wrist injury that has kept him on the sidelines since the F1 summer break.
Red Bull confirmed that Hadjar, who injured his wrist whilst training during the shutdown period, has not recovered in time to race at Monza.
It means the same driver reshuffle used at Zandvoort will be deployed for a second consecutive weekend, with Lawson moving up from Racing Bulls to partner Max Verstappen while reserve driver Yuki Tsunoda fills the VCARB 03 alongside Arvid Lindblad.
Lawson finished seventh in his first outing in the RB22 at the Dutch Grand Prix, scoring six points despite a 10-second time penalty for failing to slow sufficiently under yellow flags.
