Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will continue as Racing Bulls' Formula One line-up for the 2027 season, the team said on Thursday.

Both drivers have contributed to the points that have lifted Racing Bulls to an impressive fifth place in the teams' standings on 114 points.

Team principal Alan Permane said he had been delighted by the pair's contribution to the season, with Lawson currently in ninth place in the drivers' standings and Lindblad two spots below him.

"I have no doubt that this is the best driver line-up for us, bringing a strong combination of experience and ambition," Permane said.

Lawson has picked up 89 points to secure his place with Red Bull's sister team after it had come under pressure from Bulgarian Nikola Tsolov, who has had a stellar season in F2.

"We've had a brilliant season together and the team has worked very hard to produce a fast car, which I've loved driving," said New Zealander Lawson, whose father famously sold the family home to finance his son's training.

Looking back on his rookie season in Formula One, British driver Lindblad said he had learned a great deal.

"It's been a truly special year. I'm very happy to be continuing," the 19-year-old added.
