F1: Lawson survives Tsolov threat, Racing Bulls keep both drivers

The wait is over

Racing Bulls settled their 2027 line-up today. Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad both stay on, the Faenza team announced on Thursday.

Lindblad’s place was never really in question. Lawson’s was. Earlier this month, Racing Bulls and parent team Red Bull weighed up replacing the New Zealander with Nikola Tsolov, who leads the Formula 2 championship. In the end, the call went Lawson’s way, not long after a strong outing at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Points and a shot at fifth

The team pointed to results. Its statement credited the pair with four straight double points finishes between Monaco and Silverstone, and with keeping Racing Bulls in the fight for fifth in the constructors’ standings, which would be a first for the outfit.

Team principal Alan Permane called it the best line-up available, a mix of experience and ambition. He said both drivers had progressed individually and as a pairing, and promised a more ambitious team in 2027.

Tsolov, for now, waits. With two races left this season, in Qatar on November 29 and Abu Dhabi on December 6, the Red Bull family has one fewer seat question to answer.
