After finishing ninth in the United States Grand Prix, Liam Lawson looked ahead to the remaining races of 2026. “I'm trying to score as many points as I can this year,” he told media, including RacingNews365. His place on the 2027 Formula 1 grid is not assured.

Lawson's ninth place was his 14th points-scoring result for Racing Bulls this season, from 20 opportunities that included three Sprints. He has scored 63 of the team's 102 points.

Racing Bulls is evaluating whether to promote F2 title contender Nikola Tsolov to a race seat. Arvid Lindblad looks secure after a good rookie campaign; if Tsolov gets the nod, Lawson would be the driver to make way.
