\u2018An X-ray confirmed he sustained a break to a metacarpal on his left hand, and this injury will not allow him to continue his duties, so he will be replaced by the team\u2019s reserve driver\u00a0Liam Lawson\u00a0for the remainder of this weekend.<\/p>\n
\u2018The team wishes him all the best for the quickest possible recovery.<\/p>\n
