Racing Bulls Confirm Driver Line-Up for 2027 Season with Lawson and Lindblad

Faenza, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : Formula 1 team Racing Bulls has officially announced its driver line-up for the 2027 season. Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will continue to race for the team, ensuring stability as they head into the next year.

Speculation about Lawson’s future with Racing Bulls had been rampant. There were discussions about Red Bull junior driver Nikola Tsolov potentially taking his place. Team principal Alan Permane had previously stated that no decision had been made regarding the line-up. Just a week after Tsolov’s debut during the Mexico City Grand Prix, Permane reiterated that the team would make the right choice.

Now, with Lawson and Lindblad confirmed for the upcoming season, the team has strengthened its hold on fifth place in the Constructors’ Championship.

Permane expressed his satisfaction, saying, “We are pleased to move forward with Liam and Arvid in 2027. Both have demonstrated their potential and capabilities throughout the season. We have seen how much they have progressed individually and as a pair.”

He added, “I have no doubt this is our best driver line-up, combining experience with a strong desire to succeed. Building on the progress we made this year, we will continue to strive for improvement and take the next steps toward achieving our goals in 2027.”

Recently, Lawson started from P3 at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix and finished in seventh place, bringing his total to 89 points. This marks the fourth time in the last five Grands Prix that he has secured a seventh-place finish. If Racing Bulls manages to maintain fifth place in the team standings, it would represent their best performance to date, surpassing even when they were known as Minardi.

Reflecting on his contract extension, Lawson said, “I am thrilled to remain with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls (VCARB) next year. This season has been fantastic for us. The team has worked hard to build a fast car, which I have thoroughly enjoyed driving. Being part of this historic season as we fight for P5 in the Constructors’ Championship feels great. It’s a testament to the hard work of everyone on the track and in the factory. I am excited to continue this journey until 2027. We are creating something very positive, and I am eager to see what we can achieve together.”
