Lawson unsure whether Singapore points will secure his 2027 Racing Bulls seat

“You tell me!” was Liam Lawson’s answer when asked whether his Singapore weekend could help him secure a Racing Bulls seat for 2027. He had scored 10 points across the Sprint and Grand Prix, but was not sure the results would be enough. He said his focus was on scoring each weekend and trying to extend his time with the team.

Lawson qualified eighth for Saturday’s Sprint and finished fifth after narrowly avoiding the spinning McLarens on the final lap. He later reached Q3 and finished eighth in the Grand Prix; early overtakes helped him hold off Nico Hulkenberg and George Russell.

Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane had said earlier in the weekend that a decision on the 2027 driver line-up would come “in the coming weeks”. Formula 2 driver Nikola Tsolov had emerged as a contender alongside Lawson and Arvid Lindblad.
