Isack Hadjar Reveals Details Behind F1 2026 Summer Break Wrist Injury

Isack Hadjar suffered a broken wrist bone while training during the 2026 Formula 1 summer break. The injury forced him to miss the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, prompting Red Bull and Racing Bulls to reshuffle their driver line-ups.

Following the event at Zandvoort, Hadjar sat out the next two rounds on the recommendation of MotoGP rider Marc Marquez. He subsequently returned to competition and secured a podium finish in Baku last weekend.

While sources close to the team at Zandvoort indicated that the injury occurred during boxing training, Hadjar only publicly confirmed this following his race in Baku. When asked if the team had banned him from boxing while training in the future, Hadjar stated that he would be more careful next time.

Hadjar clarified that the injury was a small fracture on the outside of his wrist, refuting earlier reports claiming a scaphoid fracture on the inside. With the standard recovery process involving a splint for six weeks, Hadjar returned to the cockpit at the earliest realistic opportunity and is likely to continue feeling discomfort for several weeks.
