Racing Bulls confirm Lawson and Lindblad for 2027 as Permane backs duo

Racing Bulls have confirmed Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad as their drivers for 2027. Team principal Alan Permane said he was pleased the team would continue with both and had no doubt they were its best pairing, citing their mix of experience and ambition.

Permane said both drivers had shown their qualities and potential through the season, while Racing Bulls had seen progress from them individually and as a duo. He described the pairing as a solid base for the team to build on this year's progress and pursue its ambitions in 2027.

Lawson's Brazilian weekend was particularly strong, and he finished seventh. The possibility of giving F2 driver Nikola Tsolov a chance at Racing Bulls had also been discussed in recent weeks; Tsolov made his first appearance in an F1 free-practice session in Mexico.
