- Decision between Liam Lawson, Arvid Lindblad, and Nikola Tsolov
- Lawson scored 69 points; Lindblad earned 38 points this season
- Tsolov’s F2 performance adds complexity to Racing Bulls decision

- Decision impacts both 2027 season and future driver development
Team principal Alan Permane says Racing Bulls will lock in its 2027 driver line-up in the coming weeks, leaving only Haas and Faenza’s team yet to confirm pairings.
The decision centers on Liam Lawson, Arvid Lindblad, and Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov, with only two seats available and competing priorities to balance.
Lawson has 69 points this season, including 14 scored while substituting at Red Bull, reinforcing his value during that stint with a decisive cameo.
Lindblad’s 38 points as a rookie have underpinned the team’s rise to fifth in the constructors’, showcasing speed and improving racecraft alongside Lawson’s consistency.
“Three doesn’t fit into two,” Permane says, underscoring the squeeze on Racing Bulls’ options.
Tsolov’s push for the Formula 2 title strengthens his case. Racing Bulls’ role as a Red Bull feeder makes his candidacy strategically significant beyond immediate points.
Tsolov’s F2 title challenge puts him in genuine contention for a 2027 seat.
Permane won’t commit to a precise date, stressing the team is in no rush and wants the right blend of pace, progression, and future upside.
Lawson’s 69 points versus Lindblad’s 38 frames the near-term performance benchmark.
The choice extends beyond 2027 headline results, aligning with Racing Bulls’ long-term brief of preparing talent for Red Bull. That context shapes the evaluation of all three.
Racing Bulls’ 2027 positioning, and the wider Red Bull pathway, remain central to the call, as explored in the team’s 2027 season context.
Lawson’s return to Faenza earlier this year stabilized the operation and informed recent form, building a case for continuity after rejoining Racing Bulls.
Operational sharpness will also matter. The team’s early-season setbacks, including the Bahrain penalty, underline why dependable execution and driver discipline are weighed alongside raw pace.
The coming weeks will determine whether Racing Bulls prioritizes proven scoring from Lawson and Lindblad or accelerates Tsolov’s promotion. That call will shape Faenza’s ceiling for 2027.
