Will Lindblad and Lawson be retained by Racing Bulls? F1 Q&A

Ahead of the upcoming United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, Kimi Antonelli has his first mathematical chance to clinch the 2026 drivers' championship. To secure the title in Austin, the Mercedes driver must win the grand prix while teammate George Russell finishes ninth or worse and Ferrari competitor Lewis Hamilton places fifth or lower.

Meanwhile, discussion surrounds the remaining open driver slots for 2027, with Racing Bulls and Haas yet to finalize their pairings. Racing Bulls faces a choice among Liam Lawson, Arvid Lindblad, and Formula 2 title contender Nikola Tsolov.

Analysts debate whether to retain Lawson and Lindblad together as a known benchmark or alter the historical Red Bull approach under new leadership.
