Lawson, Lindblad futures still unclear at Racing Bulls

BBC Sport and Motorsport.com reported Racing Bulls had not confirmed its 2026 driver plans, with Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad still under discussion.

BBC Sport reported that Racing Bulls' 2026 driver plans remained unresolved ahead of the United States Grand Prix, with questions still surrounding Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad rather than any confirmed decision. In a pre-race F1 Q&A, Andrew Benson addressed whether both drivers would be retained.

Motorsport.com also reported fresh focus on Lawson's position after he was asked about his future during F1 TV's live post-race coverage. Lawson, a New Zealander born on 11 February 2002, has made 44 Formula 1 starts from 2023 to 2026 for three teams and sits ninth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 77 points.

Lindblad, born on 8 August 2007, has raced nine times in Formula 1 in 2026 with RB F1 Team and recorded a best finish of seventh. He is 11th in the standings on 38 points, with no official announcement yet made on Racing Bulls' plans.
