Liam Lawson will once again drive for Red Bull Racing at the Spanish Grand Prix, replacing Isack Hadjar as Max Verstappen's teammate. Yuki Tsunoda will also race for Racing Bulls next weekend.
Hadjar sustained a wrist injury ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, and will now miss a third race in a row. According to the Austrian team, his recovery is progressing well, but he is not ready to make his return yet.
Red Bull Racing's team update wrote: "After racing for the team in Zandvoort and Monza, Liam will continue to drive alongside Max at this week's Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.
"The decision has been taken as Isack's recover continues to progress positively. While he is not yet ready to return to the cockpit, he will be in Madrid supporting the team.
"Everyone at Oracle Red Bull Racing looks forward to welcoming Isack back behind the wheel very soon."
