Liam Lawson does not know whether Racing Bulls will have a place for him in 2027, but says he hopes to stay and is not letting the uncertainty occupy much of his attention. Speaking to Viaplay, he said he feels good and would give the situation more thought if he were in the same position as in 2025.

Most of the 2027 grid is already taking shape, but Racing Bulls' full line-up remains uncertain. Lawson and team-mate Arvid Lindblad both need to make a strong impression to earn new contracts.

Red Bull's young-driver pipeline adds another competitive factor: Nikola Tsolov is second in Formula 2 behind Rafael Câmara and is regarded as a promising talent, leaving Lawson particularly under pressure. There is no opening for a 2027 promotion to Red Bull's senior team after Isack Hadjar's extension as Max Verstappen's team-mate.
