Visa Cash App Racing Bulls have announced Brit Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson for their 2027 pairing.
Lindblad has enjoyed a successful rookie year in Formula One, currently sitting 11th in the standings, just four points off Pierre Gasly in tenth. His best result of the season came at Monaco, where he managed a sixth-place finish.
The rookie has become one of the most-liked drivers on the grid, and it will be great to see how he fares in his second year of Formula One. At his home race back in July, Lindblad finished seventh to a roaring crowd.
Lawson has had a fantastic year, becoming the best of the rest outside the top four teams in the drivers’ championship, and sits ninth. The Kiwi, of course, had to sit in at Red Bull for two races this season as well to fill in for Isack Hadjar, who was recovering from a wrist injury.
Lawson’s best result of the season came in Monaco, like Lindblad, where he finished fifth and picked up a huge haul of points for the team.
This pairing makes perfect sense for Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, as Lawson brings his experience, now stepping into his third season with the team, along with some time with Red Bull.
We already know that Lindblad can carry his potential and a strong rookie campaign into 2027. He can also bring youth and push for the role of first driver at the team.
Of course, Formula 2 runner-up Nikola Tsolov was rumoured to replace Lawson at the end of the season.
