Isack Hadjar will return to competition in Baku
Isaac Hadjar finally returns to the competition. This weekend the Frenchman will return to the grid Formula 1 after missing the final three races of the season due to a wrist injury sustained during the summer break.

The New Zealander managed to finish in sixth place in the Spanish GP as his best result aboard the RB26. As Liam moved up to the Milton Keynes team, Yuki Tsunoda took his place at Racing Bulls, although the Japanese could not score a single point in the three races. Now, everyone returns to their corresponding places and Hadjar will be able to compete in Baku after two months out.
“Red Bull is delighted to welcome Hadjar this weekend. Following his recovery from his wrist injury, Isack will return to action this Thursday in Baku.

We wish him all the best on his return to the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls team,” the Austrians’ statement said.
Hadjar’s role in his first year alongside Max Verstappen was not bad at all considering the difference in Red Bull’s performance compared to teams like Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren.
