Highlights
- Liam Lawson’s 2026 F1 seat at Racing Bulls remains unconfirmed.
- Lawson scored points four times in last eight 2025 races.
- Upcoming North America double-header crucial for Lawson’s seat hopes.
- Red Bull to decide 2026 drivers before 2025 season ends.
- Racing Bulls sit sixth with 72 points in 2025 team standings.
Liam Lawson’s 2026 Formula 1 future remains unresolved, with Racing Bulls yet to confirm their lineup. Red Bull plans decisions before season end, intensifying scrutiny through the North American double-header.
Lawson’s 2025 campaign opened poorly. A difficult two-race stint with the senior Red Bull team preceded a return to Racing Bulls, where execution improved as the package and operations stabilised.
He has scored in four of last eight rounds, headlined by fifth in Baku. That result reflected cleaner weekends, improved tyre management, and reduced procedural errors on the pit wall.
The next phase features Austin and Mexico City on consecutive weekends. Both tracks expose braking and traction weaknesses, offering Lawson another benchmark as Racing Bulls assesses race craft and feedback.
Four points finishes in the last eight races, including P5 in Baku, headline Lawson’s late-season momentum.
Lawson downplays any single event. He argues consistency matters most in a paddock with short memories, where repeat execution across qualifying, starts, and stints outweighs one standout result.

Red Bull indicates the 2026 roster will be settled before the chequered flag falls on 2025. That accelerates pressure on candidates as six races remain to shape internal evaluations.
Red Bull plans to lock its 2026 driver lineup before the 2025 season ends.
Lawson accepts selection is beyond his control and focuses on deliverables. The brief is straightforward: avoid errors, maximise car potential, and bank points to reinforce his claim for retention.
Racing Bulls currently hold sixth in the 2025 constructors’ standings on 72 points, shared by Lawson and Isack Hadjar. The baseline is solid, but opportunistic scoring remains essential.
McLaren leads convincingly on 650 points through Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Max Verstappen sits third in the drivers’ order for Red Bull, still a persistent strategic reference.
The final stretch, with Brazil, Las Vegas, and Qatar, will inform 2026 moves across the grid. Lawson’s task remains unchanged: deliver repeatable performance and minimise volatility under rising selection pressure.

As much as you have good race weekends, people in F1 have short memories.
It’s about keeping that consistency across the board.
