Isack Hadjar is finally back in the Red Bull cockpit for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit, after missing three races due to a left wrist injury sustained during the summer break. The Milton Keynes-based team officially announced the Frenchman's comeback.
“Oracle Red Bull Racing is pleased to welcome Isack back this weekend,” the team stated. “After successfully recovering from his wrist injury, Isack will be back in action at the Baku City Circuit on Thursday. The team would like to sincerely thank Liam for his professionalism, dedication, and hard work over the last three races. Called upon in difficult circumstances, he delivered strong performances and made a valuable contribution. We wish him all the best as he returns to Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.”
Hadjar's return means Liam Lawson must end his stint as substitute and go back to Racing Bulls. The New Zealander impressed by scoring 14 points in three races, a commendable feat given the pressure he faced. He will now rejoin the Faenza-based team, his home since the start of the season.
However, this decision brings a bitter consequence for Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese driver, who had replaced Lawson at Racing Bulls, must relinquish his seat. Tsunoda, who scored one point at Monza, now needs to seek opportunities elsewhere for 2027 if he wants to remain in Formula 1. This is a tough blow to his career, though he has shown speed and determination whenever given the chance.
With the driver lineup back to normal, Red Bull hopes Hadjar can quickly find his rhythm on the challenging Baku street circuit. Meanwhile, Lawson will aim to continue his solid form with Racing Bulls, and Tsunoda must wait on the sidelines. The Baku race, held on Saturday, is a crucial moment for Hadjar to prove that his injury has not affected his ability.
For fans, this dynamic adds spice to the remainder of the season. Hadjar must prove himself, Lawson must be consistent, and Tsunoda fights for his future. All eyes will be on Baku, where speed and strategy are tested to the limit between the narrow walls of the street circuit.
