Liam Lawson is once again set to fill the role of injury substitute in F1 as he steps up to Red Bull for this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix, replacing Isack Hadjar.
The Frenchman has been ruled out of the Zandvoort race having sustained a wrist injury whilst training in the gym last week, and has not been declared medically fit for the final Dutch GP.
It has been decided that Lawson will step back into the Red Bull team for the weekend following his impressive first-half of the season, with Yuki Tsunoda set to come in for the New Zealander alongside Arvid Lindblad.
For Lawson, it is the second time in four years he will have made an injury substitution at Zandvoort, making his F1 debut in 2023 after Daniel Ricciardo's practice crash in 2023 broke his hand and wrist.
In the table below, RacingNews365 has taken a look at the last 10 injury substitutions in F1, including for world champions Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, who both missed grands prix due to COVID-19 diagnoses.
Of the last 10, five were for COVID-19, two were for appendicitis, one was for hand and wrist, one for burns, and one was for illness.
