Reserve Driver Liam Lawson, another member of the Red Bull team, drove in Daniel’s place during Sunday’s Grand Prix, of which Dutch driver Max Verstappen took home first place.
After the race, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner shared that Daniel’s surgery was a success.
"He had an operation earlier today," Christian explained, per ESPN. "He’s had several screws and a plate fitted to his [hand]. It went well, it was successful. The bone was broken in multiple places, but it was a fairly straightforward procedure. So now it’s all about recovery."
And though Daniel will not be ready to for next week’s Italian Grand Prix, Christian said the driver’s recovery should be quick and easy.
"For a normal human being that would be a couple of months," he added. "For a Grand Prix driver, it’s often much shorter."
