Racing Bulls are expected to announce in the near future that Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad are staying at the team for 2027.

Ted Kravitz has heard solid ‘rumours in the paddock’ that the decision has already been made. Lawson and Lindblad will stay for another year.

Liam Lawson has completed his third double-points weekend of the 2026 Formula One season, courtesy of a seventh-placed finish at the Singapore Grand Prix.
…
“I’m pretty f*****,” the Kiwi conceded over team radio after the chequered flag, with Singapore widely considered the most physically demanding race on the calendar.
“I’m very happy, very proud of the team,” he said post-race. “It’s been a pretty intense few weeks.
“We’ve scored in all three races, I personally should have scored in all three as well. But it’s great to have the last few weekends go to plan.
“I’m very, very happy.”

Excerpt: He started the Spanish Grand Prix from eighth on the grid and made up two positions, including an epic pass on Franco Colapinto, to score eight points.
“I think he’s done a very good job,” Mekies told PlanetF1.com and other accredited media in Madrid.
“I think we all know how difficult it is to jump to a different team, to a different car, and I think that he has done that to the best of what could have been our expectations.
“He has taken some very important points with the P6. He did the same in Zandvoort, and in Monza he would have done something similar without the contact with Nico [Hulkenberg] and the front wing damage. I think he did a very good job.
“Very different pictures compared to the first races of 2025 when he was in the team.
“We are thankful and happy with that.”

Liam Lawson has achieved his best result as a Red Bull driver, and taken sixth place at Formula One’s Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid to create Kiwi history for good measure.
Having started eighth, the Kiwi made up two places over the course of 57 laps in the Spanish capital, as the new Circuito de Madring proved difficult for drivers to overtake on.
While the eight points gained won’t seem like much in the context of the season, Lawson’s haul from Madrid takes his season tally to 59, and sets a new mark for the most by a New Zealander in a single Formula One campaign.
Lawson’s 59 points take him clear of the 51 achieved by Denny Hulme’s 1967 campaign – admittedly under a much more conservative 9-6-4-3-2-1 scoring system.

Liam Lawson is a chance to add to his 2026 Formula One points haul, after qualifying eighth for the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuito de Madrid.
Having shown pace all weekend, with top 10 finishes in all three practice sessions, Lawson continued to prove his adaptability on an unfamiliar track, with all 22 drivers starting on a level playing field for the sport’s first trip to the Spanish capital’s new circuit.
As a proven performer on street circuits, Lawson was untroubled in reaching the third and final stage of qualifying (Q3), before posting a best lap of 1m 32.316s to finish 0.492s off the pace.
Despite qualifying eighth, though, Lawson felt he should be starting higher after fighting at the front in earlier sessions.
“F***, sorry man,” Lawson was heard telling race engineer Richard Wood after qualifying. “It felt pretty clean, I don’t know what else to do.”
“We were very competitive through the first part of quali,” he clarified after. “Unfortunately it just fell away from us in Q3.
“Everybody else made quite a big step in Q3, and we just missed out. It’s a shame, I think we were very competitive today.”

Excerpt: Hulkenberg had little to no sympathy for Lawson but said there were “no hard feelings”.
"He always likes to squeeze people when you go next to him,” Hulkenberg said of Lawson post-race.
“He never really wants to leave a car's width. It's his signature. It's no hard feelings. It's just a bit tricky,” Hulkenberg told RacingNews365.
The incident was noted by stewards, but no penalty was handed out to either driver.
Hulkenberg felt the incident should have been dealt with more seriously by stewards.
“Especially at those speeds, it felt a bit sketchy at the time in the car,” Hulkenberg said.

Liam hasn’t sold any of his racing helmets before, now is your chance.
The helmet is a Bell HP77, hand made by the craftsmen at Bell, and features his Visa Cash App RB F1 Team design.
The drivers have a lot of input into their helmet design and Liam’s is recognised as one of the most interesting. Māori-inspired motifs to the iconic silver fern and Southern Cross stars of the national flag, it’s a distinctive statement with its vibrant pink and white livery and a modern tribute to his New Zealand roots.
