With Aston Martin confirming their lineup, only Haas and Racing Bulls are left to announce.

After missing the first three races back from summer break because of a broken hand, Isack Hadjar is back for the race in Baku. Liam Lawson will resume in his Racing Bulls seat, while Yuki Tsunoda will be back on the sidelines as reserve driver.

Hadjar sustained a hand injury over the summer break that has had him unable to race since the Dutch Grand Prix. Hadjar hopes to return to racing by Baku, but for the time being Liam Lawson will stay in the Red Bull and Yuki Tsunoda at Racing Bulls.

The Japanese driver made it into the points in his second race of the season as he fills in for Liam Lawson, while he fills in for Isack Hadjar at Red Bull. 

Liam Lawson has described his first day back behind the wheel of a Red Bull as "interesting." The New Zealander was eleventh in sprint qualifying and missed out on SQ3 despite having shown good potential in the early stages of the session: "Normally, you improve throughout qualifying and we started SQ1 quite strong, but then we didn't make the same step as the others" explained Lawson.

The 24 year old driver was called up on short notice to replace Isack Hadjar at Zandvoort after the Frenchman suffered a wrist injury. Lawson returns to Red Bull after his brief two race stint in 2025, while Yuki Tsunoda took his seat at Racing Bulls: "There's a lot to learn today. So far honestly I feel quite good in the car" he declared.

Not only is it the fastest, it is also the only pit stop less than 2 seconds!
