Asked about a departure after 2027, Lawson said he would consider a team offering a better chance to win, but is focused on Racing Bulls’ fight for fifth.
Asked whether leaving the Red Bull programme at the end of 2027 would make sense if he retained a seat for that season, Liam Lawson said he wants to put himself in a position to win and would consider a team offering a better chance. He added that he was not giving the possibility much thought now.
The scenario remains hypothetical: Red Bull have yet to decide whether to keep Lawson for 2027 or promote Nikola Tsolov to a race seat. Lawson said he did not know what would happen next year.
Lawson said his focus is Racing Bulls’ fight for fifth in the constructors’ standings. He described the team as well in the battle and noted that good tracks remain this season. A fifth-place finish would be the Faenza squad’s first in F1 under its various guises.
