Liam Lawson makes worrying admission with Racing Bulls F1 seat under threat
Follow
Liam Lawson’s future at Racing Bulls remains uncertain despite a standout 2026 season, where he currently leads midfield drivers with ninth place in the championship. The 24-year-old Kiwi secured 83 points this year, nearly double his rookie teammate Arvid Lindblad’s total, after clawing back to seventh place at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Lawson’s resilience and consistent performances have not yet secured his seat for 2027, as team officials have yet to provide any guarantees about his continued role.
Red Bull’s junior talent Nikola Tsolov has emerged as a potential successor, impressing during his F1 practice debut in Lawson’s absence. Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer praised Tsolov’s seamless integration and strong debut, though the final decision rests with team principal Alan Permane.
With Racing Bulls’ history of developing future F1 stars, the team’s commitment to nurturing new talent adds another layer of complexity to Lawson’s situation.
