A New Zealand Herald opinion piece has questioned whether Red Bull could fairly drop Liam Lawson for 2027, arguing that his performances for Racing Bulls should count when the line-up is assessed.
Lawson briefly ran second in the opening stages of the São Paulo Grand Prix before finishing seventh and scoring six points. The Herald piece argues that overlooking such results would raise questions about consistency in Red Bull's driver management.
