Racing Bulls 2027 seat picture shifts after Tsolov run

Formula1.com reported Nikola Tsolov’s Mexico FP1 run added to Racing Bulls’ 2027 seat debate, with Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad also in view.

Racing Bulls has not confirmed its 2027 line-up, but reports have put Nikola Tsolov, Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad in the conversation. Formula1.com reported that Tsolov’s FP1 appearance in Mexico complicated the team’s planning, while BBC Sport’s Andrew Benson addressed whether Lawson and Lindblad would be retained before the United States Grand Prix.

Elsewhere, Motorsport.com reported that Gabriele Mini was set for his Formula 1 weekend debut in Alpine’s car during first practice for the Mexico Grand Prix. RaceFans also listed Tsolov, Mini and Slater among nine drivers due to run on Friday, underlining how several junior prospects are getting track time late in the season.

Lawson brought the strongest Formula 1 record of the reported Racing Bulls options, with 44 starts from 2023 to 2026, and he was ninth in the 2026 drivers’ championship on 77 points. Lindblad was 11th on 38 points after nine races for RB F1 Team in 2026, with a best finish of seventh.
