Red Bull have three seats up for grabs for next year
Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz predicts that Liam Lawson will secure a spot at Racing Bulls over Yuki Tsunoda for the 2026 F1 season. Red Bull still has three of their four seats undecided for next year, with Max Verstappen confirming his stay and Isack Hadjar expected to be his teammate. This leaves two open seats at Racing Bulls, creating uncertainty around Tsunoda’s future within the Red Bull family. Lawson, who displayed a strong performance at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, may potentially team up with Arvid Lindblad at Racing Bulls next season. If Tsunoda is dropped by Red Bull, his options could involve joining Honda as a test and reserve driver or potentially exploring opportunities with Haas due to their Toyota connections. Mercedes-linked Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez will lead the newly-joined Cadillac team on the F1 grid in 2026.
