Racing Bulls is the latest team to make an announcement while providing clarity about one particular driver, Liam Lawson. The team said that Lawson will be back in the lineup for the 2027 season, along with Arvid Lindblad.
The two drivers will remain teammates moving forward despite Red Bull Junior Nikola Tsolov being listed as a potential replacement for Lawson on the team.
The New Zealand native has made 16 starts for Racing Bulls this season and three for Oracle Red Bull Racing while serving as an injury replacement for Isack Hadjar. Lawson has 12 top-10 finishes for Racing Bulls and two for Red Bull, taking him to 89 points on the season.
Lindblad has contributed 38 points during his rookie season. He has 11 top-10 finishes, headlined by a sixth-place finish in the Monaco Grand Prix.
"I'm very happy to be continuing with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls next year," Lawson said in a statement. "We've had a brilliant season together and the team has worked very hard to produce a fast car, which I've loved driving.
"It feels great to be part of a historic season for the team as we continue our fight for P5 in the Constructors' Championship. It's a testament to the hard work of everyone both at track, and back at the factory.
"I'm looking forward to carrying this moment forward with Arvid through to 2027; we're building something super positive and I'm excited by what we can achieve together."
With Racing Bulls naming its full-time lineup, only two teams have remaining questions.
Haas has not said if Ollie Bearman will return for 2027 while joining rookie Rafael Camara. The expectation is that this will be the case, but the team has not provided confirmation.
The other team with a question mark is Cadillac, which recently signed Sergio Perez to a multi-year extension. Valtteri Bottas is technically on a multi-year deal, but the American team has put in extensive effort in the back of the season while helping test driver Colton Herta obtain his Super Licence. It remains a possibility that Herta could take over the second Cadillac entry in 2027.
