GPBeat reports that Liam Lawson thinks his three races as a Red Bull stand-in could help his case for a 2027 F1 drive, although he does not know how much they will count.
Liam Lawson thinks his three races as a Red Bull stand-in could help his case for a Formula 1 drive in 2027. He pointed to the difficulty of jumping into a different car, but said he did not know how much the experience would count.
After the 2026 summer break, Lawson stood in for injured Isack Hadjar at Zandvoort, Monza and Madrid. Formula 2 title contender Nikola Tsolov is believed to be an option for Racing Bulls in 2027.
Earlier in 2026, Lawson said conversations about his future were continuing in the background and expected decisions within a few weeks. Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane and CEO Peter Bayer had expressed satisfaction with the current Lawson–Arvid Lindblad line-up, but Lawson's 2027 seat was not guaranteed.
