Racing Bulls confirm Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad for 2027 as Nikola Tsolov misses out

Racing Bulls have confirmed that Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will remain with the team for the 2027 Formula 1 season, ending months of speculation over their driver line-up.

The decision means Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov will not secure a race seat with the Faenza-based team next year, despite being among the candidates considered for promotion to Formula 1.

Lawson has earned another season after an impressive campaign, while Lindblad has retained his place following his rookie year in the sport.

Team principal Alan Permane welcomed the decision, describing the pairing as the right combination of experience and potential for the team's future.

The announcement also ends uncertainty surrounding Lawson, whose position had come under scrutiny despite a strong run of performances, including seventh place at the São Paulo Grand Prix.

For Tsolov, the decision is a setback in his bid to reach Formula 1, although his future within the Red Bull junior programme remains a separate question.
