Lawson to pilot Red Bull at Monza as Hadjar sidelined by injury

Red Bull Racing has announced that Liam Lawson will remain in the cockpit for the Formula One team at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The decision comes as the team confirms that regular driver Isack Hadjar is still recovering from a wrist injury that has kept him off the grid for the past month.

Hadjar was forced to miss the Dutch Grand Prix after sustaining the injury, prompting the Milton Keynes outfit to call upon Lawson as a replacement. The injury appears to have proven more troublesome than initially anticipated, with the team opting to maintain continuity by extending Lawson's mandate for the upcoming race at the historic Autodromo di Monza.

Lawson's continued involvement represents a significant opportunity for the young driver to gain further experience in a competitive machinery. His performance in recent races will be closely watched as Red Bull assesses the situation regarding Hadjar's recovery timeline.

The team has not provided a timeline for Hadjar's return to competition. Red Bull will be looking to maintain its strong championship position as the Formula One season enters a critical phase with several rounds remaining.
