Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar is set to make his return at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after missing the previous three races due to a wrist injury. The 21-year-old Frenchman had to sit out races in the Netherlands, Monza, and Madrid, where he was replaced by New Zealand's Liam Lawson.

Hadjar sustained his injury while boxing, prompting Red Bull to confirm his full recovery. The team announced he will reclaim his seat for the Grand Prix in Baku, scheduled from September 24-26.

In a statement, Red Bull expressed gratitude towards Lawson:

The team would like to sincerely thank Liam for his professionalism, dedication and hard work over the past three races. Stepping in under challenging circumstances, he delivered some impressive performances and made a valuable contribution to the team.

Lawson, 24, had notable finishes with a seventh place in Zandvoort and a sixth place in Madrid, although he struggled in Monza, finishing 14th and failing to score points.

After Hadjar's return, Lawson will shift back to Red Bull's junior team, Racing Bulls. Currently, Hadjar stands eighth in the drivers' standings with a total of 71 points this season, ready to compete alongside four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
