On Thursday, it was confirmed that Lindblad and Lawson will continue with the team going into another season together at the Racing Bull’s outfit, following the news of Alan Permane’s contract renewal as the Team Principle.

In the announcement, Racing Bull’s claimed both drivers delivered strong performances throughout the season, securing four consecutive double point finishes, strengthening its course to secure its best finish in the championship of fifth.

On the announcement, Permane said:

“We’re delighted to be continuing with Liam and Arvid for 2027. Both have demonstrated their ability and potential throughout the season, and we’ve seen the progress they’ve made, both individually and as a pairing.

“I have no doubt that this is the best driver line-up for us, bringing a strong combination of experience and ambition.

“Together, we have a solid foundation to build on the progress made this year, continue pushing ourselves forward and take the next step towards achieving our ambitions in 2027.”

As it currently stands with the final races to come of the season, Lawson continues to lead the standings after taking home a seventh-pace finish at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, having qualified third on the grid.

The announcement also ends the speculation of Lawson’s place at the team as his future has been speculated with the team, with Red Bull Junior Nikola Tsolov waiting in the wings to take his position.

Racing Bull’s remain in a locked battle with Alpine for fifth in the championship. However, Lawson has more points to his name than Alpine does for their season-long total of 69.

Lawson heads the quartet of drivers in ninth overall in the drivers standings, with Pierre Gasly, Lindblad and Franco Colapinto taking up 10th to 12th, respectively.

“I’m very happy to be continuing with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls next year,” said Lawson on the announcement. “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.”

Following the announcement, it means that only Haas’s vacant seat is the only vacant option on the 2027 grid, with that highly likely to go to Oliver Bearman.
