“EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY” WITH RACING BULLS’ DECISION ON ITS 2027 DRIVER LINE-UP – PERMANE

Racing Bulls will announce its 2027 lineup "in the coming weeks," and team principal Alan Permane insists everyone will be happy. That's optimistic given the math: Liam Lawson has delivered 69 of the team's 108 points toward its best-ever constructors' finish, rookie Arvid Lindblad is still developing, and F2's Nikola Tsolov waits in the wings. Someone's getting cut.

Permane hinted at a shift from Red Bull's churn-and-burn culture, calling past moves—Lawson's demotion after two Red Bull starts in 2025, the Nyck de Vries experiment that lasted twelve races in 2023—too hasty. "We're trying to apply a little bit of science," he said, which sounds like a vow not to repeat those mistakes. Lawson, fresh off a pit-lane-to-seventh drive in Mexico, was blunt: "I don't know what else they want me to do."

The answer lands soon, and it'll show whether Racing Bulls finally learned patience.
