Red Bull F1 promotion verdict ‘delivered’
The Red Bull F1 team is in the process of deciding whether one of their drivers should be promoted for the 2026 season. Max Verstappen has confirmed his stay with the team for the next year. Liam Lawson filled in for Sergio Perez in 2024 but was later demoted back to Racing Bulls. Yuki Tsunoda has not performed well this season, trailing behind Lawson and Isack Hadjar in the drivers’ championship. Red Bull and Racing Bulls are evaluating their options for the upcoming season amid contract uncertainties. Despite Lawson’s recent improvement with Racing Bulls, it is unlikely that he will be given another chance with the senior team alongside Verstappen. A decision on Lawson’s future and potential driver changes for the 2026 season is pending.
