Hadjar explains punching bag accident behind wrist fracture

Isack Hadjar says he fractured his wrist when he struck a punching bag awkwardly during a gym session without wrapping his hands. RacingNews365 Nederland relayed his account from an interview with Tom Clarkson on *Beyond the Grid*. The injury kept him out of the Dutch, Italian and Spanish Grands Prix.

Hadjar said he had hoped to return at Monza, but a simulator session showed him that his wrist still lacked strength and mobility. He then targeted the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku for his comeback.

Hadjar returned in Baku six weeks after the injury and finished on the podium, his second of the season.
