Racing Bulls Retains Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson for 2027 Season
Red Bull's second Formula 1 team has decided to keep drivers Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson for the 2027 season, passing over potential replacements for another year of evaluation.
Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson will stay on as drivers for Racing Bulls in 2027, giving Red Bull's secondary team a stable lineup that combines experience and rookie potential. Team principal Alan Permane expressed confidence in the pairing, noting the progress both individuals have shown throughout the season. Red Bull had previously considered promoting Formula 2 front-runner Nikola Tsolov, but ultimately chose to spend another season assessing their current drivers. This retention breaks slightly from Red Bull's traditional tendency to quickly discard drivers who do not immediately succeed in the main team. Lawson, who returned to Racing Bulls after a brief and difficult stint at Red Bull and subsequent substitute appearances, serves as a benchmark for evaluating rookie Lindblad. The 19-year-old Briton has shown strong flashes in his debut year, though Lawson has generally outperformed him in qualifying and points so far.
