"Made more sense": Liam Lawson secures Racing Bulls seat for 2027

Liam Lawson's Formula 1 future has been confirmed. 

He and Arvid Lindblad will remain as the drivers for Racing Bulls next year. 

The news cuts off speculation Formula Two driver Nikola Tsolov was looming in the rearview mirror to overtake them. 

F1 Journalist Chris Medland told Mike Hosking Racing Bulls has been doing so well staying on its own two feet over the last couple of years, so it made sense for them to stick with the continuity. 

He says it's also likely for Lindblad's sake, as you need a solid consistent benchmark like Lawson to see how he improves in his second year.
