Lawson and Lindblad retained by Racing Bulls for 2027

Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will continue with Racing Bulls in 2027, with Red Bull opting not to promote Formula 2 title contender Nikola Tsolov into a race seat. Commentary from The Race's writers points to Lawson's strong season, with pundits describing his consistent scoring and technical feedback as key reasons for keeping him.

The decision is also seen as a test of Racing Bulls' identity, with writers debating whether the team can operate independently or primarily serves as a development outlet for Red Bull. Keeping Lawson is viewed as giving the team credibility as an outfit with its own ambitions.

Lindblad, a rookie, is considered capable of stepping in should Isack Hadjar or Max Verstappen be unable to race, while Tsolov is expected to gain experience through practice sessions ahead of a possible introduction in 2028.
