New Zealand's Liam Lawson will replace injured French driver Isack Hadjar in a third consecutive Formula 1 race this weekend for Red Bull in the Spanish Grand Prix and Yuki Tsunoda continuing as the New Zealander's replacement at Racing Bulls.
Hadjar missed that race and the Dutch Grand Prix before it after he suffered a wrist injury while training last month.

"The decision has been taken as Isack's recovery continues to progress positively," said Red Bull, who had four-time world champion Max Verstappen finish third at Monza.
"While he is not yet ready to return to the cockpit, he will be in Madrid supporting the team."
The Madring is making its Formula 1 debut as the new home of the Spanish Grand Prix, previously hosted by Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya.
In his two races so far for Red Bull Lawson finished seventh in the Netherlands and 14th in Italy.
He sits ninth in the drivers' championship with 51 points.
Tsunoda has stepped up from his role as reserve driver and the Japanese will partner British rookie Arvid Lindblad at Racing Bulls.
