Liam Lawson stays with Racing Bulls for 2027

Liam Lawson confirmed as a Racing Bulls driver for the 2027 Formula One season alongside teammate Arvid Lindblad.

Liam Lawson will remain at Racing Bulls in 2027, alongside teammate Arvid Lindblad. The announcement ends speculation that the New Zealand driver would lose his seat to F2 driver Nikola Tsolov.

Lawson has outperformed his rookie teammate this season and sits ninth in the championship. Lawson's confirmation comes after a successful three-race stand-in role with Red Bull earlier in the year.

This boosted his reputation after a failed two-race stint in early 2025. Team principal Alan Permane said Lawson and Lindblad represent "the best driver line-up" for the team.
