Hadjar may also be absent for Madrid.

      Isack Hadjar's wrist injury may prevent him from racing for a third consecutive weekend, with L’Equipe reporting that the Red Bull driver could also miss the upcoming Spanish GP in Madrid. Hadjar has already been absent from Zandvoort and will again be substituted by Liam Lawson at Monza.

      L’Equipe stated that the Frenchman visited Red Bull's Milton Keynes headquarters last week and tried a simulator session to evaluate if his injured wrist was up to the task. "The Frenchman, too, wanted to believe it," the report noted. "In the British drizzle, far from the sweltering heat of Lombardy, he faced the simulator to determine if his troublesome wrist could endure."

      Red Bull has officially confirmed Hadjar's absence from Monza, asserting that he has made "encouraging progress" since sustaining the injury during the summer break. "The Team is closely monitoring his rehabilitation and will not take unnecessary risks with his return to competition," the statement indicated.

      This situation emphasizes Red Bull's unusual depth of drivers at the moment. Lawson performed well while filling in for Hadjar at Zandvoort, and Yuki Tsunoda excelled after taking over Lawson's seat.

      Arvid Lindblad expressed disappointment at Monza for not receiving a Red Bull call-up. "Like every driver in such a case, I am a bit disappointed that I did not get the chance," he stated. "But as I said, I understand the decision."

      Additionally, another strong contender from below is rapidly rising. Formula 2 leader Nikola Tsolov recently completed 690 kilometers in his first Formula 1 test with Racing Bulls at Imola. Team boss Alan Permane commented, "He adjusted quickly to the car and exhibited the composure expected from a driver in an F1 car for the first time."
