Bearman's Haas future and Cadillac seat in focus

Racing Bulls have confirmed Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad for next season, leaving one remaining question on the grid. Haas want to keep Ollie Bearman, who is in his second full season with the team and sits 13th in the drivers' standings on 23 points. The remaining step is an agreement between Bearman's management, Haas boss Ayao Komatsu and Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur over the terms of his contract.

At Cadillac, Sergio Perez has signed an extended deal keeping him at the team until at least the end of 2029. An announcement about Valtteri Bottas, whose multi-year deal also has options to be triggered for 2027, has yet to be made. American reserve driver Colton Herta is linked with the seat and has impressed in FP1 sessions, and he secured the final point needed for his Super Licence by taking part in the opening practice session in Brazil.
