Racing Bulls locked in Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad for 2027, ending weeks of speculation about whether the New Zealander would keep his seat or get bumped for F2 title contender Nikola Tsolov.

He's sitting ninth in the standings—best of the rest behind the top four teams—and has been pivotal in Racing Bulls' push for fifth in the constructors' championship. Team principal Alan Permane called the pairing the perfect blend of youth and experience. Lawson also earned praise for his stand-in stint at Red Bull when Isack Hadjar went down with injury. Tsolov, who got an FP1 run in Mexico, wasn't mentioned in the 2027 announcement but is expected to land a broader Red Bull role and could head to Super Formula in Japan.
