Hadjar injured
This time Zandvoort does not bring luck to Isack Hadjar. As we reported, the Frenchman suffered a wrist injury, and for this reason he will miss the Dutch GP weekend, where last year he achieved his first F1 podium. Liam Lawson will race in his place, thus returning to Red Bull after an unfortunate start to the 2025 season.
