Lawson to Stay in F1 as Racing Bulls Announces 2027 Driver Pairing

Racing Bulls officials cited the team's 114-point standing in the Constructors' Championship as a key factor in their decision to retain the current driver lineup for 2027.

  • On Thursday, Racing Bulls confirmed Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will remain teammates for the 2027 Formula One season, ending weeks of speculation about the New Zealander's future.
  • Lawson's position faced scrutiny in recent months due to Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov's emergence as a potential replacement, though Team Principal Alan Permane repeatedly insisted no final decision had been made.
  • Lawson holds 89 points including a seventh-place finish at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, while rookie Lindblad has contributed 38 points, propelling Racing Bulls to fifth in the Constructors' Championship.
  • Permane said the team is 'delighted to be continuing with Liam and Arvid for 2027,' describing them as bringing a 'strong combination of experience and ambition' to Racing Bulls.
  • The announcement leaves Haas as a remaining grid uncertainty, with the team yet to disclose a contract for Ollie Bearman despite both parties expressing desire to continue working together.
