Racing Bulls has confirmed Liam Lawson's seat for the 2027 Formula 1 season.
After months of uncertainty over the future of the team's driver line-up, the New Zealander will remain accompanied by current rookie teammate Arvid Lindblad next year.
Lawson has become widely regarded as ‘the best of the rest’ - the most consistent and highest finishing driver on the grid who isn't a part of heavyweight constructors Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren.
"We’ve had a brilliant season together and the team has worked very hard to produce a fast car, which I’ve loved driving. It feels great to be part of a historic season for the team as we continue our fight for P5 in the Constructors' Championship," Lawson said in a statement.
"It's a testament to the hard work of everyone both at track, and back at the factory. I’m looking forward to carrying this moment forward with Arvid through to 2027 - we’re building something super positive and I’m excited by what we can achieve together."
The 24-year old currently sits ninth on driver standings with 89 points, 33 behind former teammate Isack Hadjar (Red Bull Racing) and 47 ahead of rival Alpine driver Pierre Gasly who is 10th.

"We’re delighted to be continuing with Liam and Arvid for 2027. Both have demonstrated their ability and potential throughout the season, and we’ve seen the progress they’ve made, both individually and as a pairing," team principal Alan Permane said.
"I have no doubt that this is the best driver line-up for us, bringing a strong combination of experience and ambition.
"Together, we have a solid foundation to build on the progress made this year, continue pushing ourselves forward and take the next step towards achieving our ambitions in 2027."
This season, Lawson achieved his best-equal finish of 5th place at Monaco and has picked up points in 15 of the 20 Grand Prix so far, with a current points-scoring streak of five through Brazil, Mexico City, Austin, Singapore, and the Bahrain GP in Malaysia.
