Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane declined to confirm whether Nikola Tsolov might have a contract for 2028, saying all options remained possible.

Viaplay commentator Nelson Valkenburg asked whether a contract for Tsolov might be in place for 2028 and whether Racing Bulls’ 2027 drivers would compete to decide who stayed for that year. Permane said he would not give hints about the team’s plans. They were close to completion, he said, but still had to be finalised.

Permane described the 2027 lineup choice as involving Arvid Lindblad, Liam Lawson and Tsolov. He said Racing Bulls was analysing the data, was in no hurry and was confident it would make the right decision. Permane acknowledged that the uncertainty was frustrating for the drivers and others involved. He also said he was sure everyone would be happy if Racing Bulls announced its lineup in the coming weeks.
