Kiwi driver Liam Lawson will race for the Racing Bulls Formula 1 team again next year, after the team confirmed he will stay for the 2027 season.
The 24-year-old from Pukekohe has signed on for one more year. He will again race alongside teammate Arvid Lindblad.
The news ends months of guessing about Lawson’s future. Earlier this month, unsure whether he would keep his seat, he said: “I don’t know what else they want me to do.”
Lawson is having his best season yet. He is ninth out of all the drivers and has scored points in each of his last five races.
In Brazil, he started third, which equals his best-ever qualifying, and went on to finish seventh. Earlier in the year, he also impressed when he filled in for the injured Isack Hadjar at the top Red Bull team.
“We’ve had a brilliant season together and the team has worked very hard to produce a fast car, which I’ve loved driving,” Lawson said.
His next race is in Las Vegas on 20 November, followed by Qatar and Abu Dhabi to finish the season.
