What’s the latest with Red Bull’s driver line-up decision for F1 2026?
Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies emphasized that they will not rush their decision on the 2026 driver line-up. Isack Hadjar is likely to join Red Bull, replacing Yuki Tsunoda and teaming up with Max Verstappen next season. The situation at sister team Racing Bulls is less clear, with Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson being potential contenders for seats. Mekies mentioned that they want to give all their drivers, including Tsunoda, enough time before making a decision. Helmut Marko previously suggested a decision post the Mexico City Grand Prix, but it seems they may take more time. Racing Bulls’ team principal Alan Permane hinted that Red Bull’s delay in the driver decision is to maintain stability in the tight Constructors’ battle.
