French racer Isack Hadjar will make his Formula One return this weekend at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after missing the last three races, his Red Bull team said on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old missed GPs in the Netherlands, Italy and Spain, and was replaced by New Zealander Liam Lawson. He had injured his wrist in training over the summer break. "Oracle Red Bull Racing is delighted to welcome Isack back this weekend," the team said in social media posts.

"Having made a successful recovery from his wrist injury, Isack will return to action at the Baku City circuit on Thursday." Lawson will return to the sister Racing Bulls team this weekend.

Japan's Yuki Tsunoda had filled in for Lawson during the last three Grand Prix. Lawson scored 14 points during his Red Bull secondment, while Tsunoda managed a single point in the Racing Bulls seat.
