Liam Lawson Racing Bulls 2027 Formula 1 contract, Digi Mart USA News: Racing Bulls have confirmed that Liam Lawson will remain on the grid for the 2027 season, with an unchanged line-up that keeps Arvid Lindblad alongside him. The announcement ends months of speculation about the 24-year-old New Zealander’s future with the team.
Lawson had been understood to be in a battle with Bulgarian Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov for his Racing Bulls seat. The Herald understands Lawson’s future was secured through team boss Alan Permane, who vouched for him throughout Red Bull’s decision-making process.
Lawson has been one of the standout drivers of 2026, with 15 points finishes from 20 grands prix. In a statement, he said: “We’ve had a brilliant season together and the team has worked very hard to produce a fast car, which I’ve loved driving.” He added that he was looking forward to carrying the moment forward with Lindblad into 2027.
Lawson and Lindblad are on course to deliver Racing Bulls fifth place in the constructors’ championship, which would be the best result in the team’s history. Lawson has scored 75 of the team’s 114 points in the battle against Alpine, with an estimated $180 million in prizemoney at stake.
Herald sources have indicated that Tsolov will instead be offered a reserve driver role for Racing Bulls next year, as well as a potential season in Japan’s Super Formula Championship, provided he does not win the Formula Two title. Only Haas have yet to formally announce their 2027 driver pairing.
The Formula One season continues later this month with the Las Vegas Grand Prix, before finishing with the Qatar and Abu Dhabi grands prix.
