Racing Bulls have confirmed Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will remain their drivers for the 2027 Formula 1 season.

While Lindblad, 19, has an exciting future, Lawson’s future was uncertain after recent speculation that the parent team Red Bull could bring in the highly-rated young driver Nikola Tsolov.

The 19-year-old Bulgarian driver is currently second in the Formula 2 championship and has a big future in the sport.

But the experience of Lawson, with four seasons under his belt and time spent as Max Verstappen’s teammate, is retained for now.

Lawson noted the team’s progress, taking P5 in the Constructors' Championship with two races remaining in 2026.

“I’m very happy to be continuing with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls next year,” Lawson said. “We’ve had a brilliant season together and the team has worked very hard to produce a fast car, which I’ve loved driving. It feels great to be part of a historic season for the team as we continue our fight for P5 in the Constructors' Championship. It's a testament to the hard work of everyone both at track, and back at the factory. I’m looking forward to carrying this moment forward with Arvid through to 2027; we’re building something super positive and I’m excited by what we can achieve together.”

While Arvid Lindblad added: "I'm very happy to be continuing with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls in 2027. Looking back on my first season in Formula One, it's been a truly special year, full of new experiences and learnings since the very first pre-season test. I'd like to thank everyone at VCARB and Red Bull for their trust and support. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone in the team for their hard work, commitment and collaboration throughout the season, and for the strong relationships we've built along the way. I can't wait to get started next year, building on everything I've learned during my rookie season. It's set to be an exciting year, and I look forward to continue driving alongside Liam."

Alan Permane, Team Principal and Co-CEO Sporting, expressed his delight at how the pair had worked together.

“We’re delighted to be continuing with Liam and Arvid for 2027,” Permane said. “Both have demonstrated their ability and potential throughout the season, and we’ve seen the progress they’ve made, both individually and as a pairing. I have no doubt that this is the best driver line-up for us, bringing a strong combination of experience and ambition. Together, we have a solid foundation to build on the progress made this year, continue pushing ourselves forward and take the next step towards achieving our ambitions in 2027."

For now, Tsolov must remain patient for his chance in F1, having operated as a test driver this year.

Tsolov will hope to chase down F2 championship leader Rafael Camara with two races remaining.
