Liam Lawson is set to receive F1 promotion in 2026 with Racing Bulls.
Liam Lawson downplays the significance of assuming team leadership at Racing Bulls in 2026 due to upcoming major changes in F1. He will lead alongside rookie Arvid Lindblad, holding 35 starts under his belt. Both chassis and power units will see drastic alterations in the next season, marking the most substantial technical regulation overhaul from one year to the next. Active aerodynamics and increased electrical power, with batteries three times more powerful, are set to be introduced. While Lindblad replaces Isack Hadjar, Lawson, though the senior driver, anticipates no automatic advantage given the extensive modifications. He stresses the importance of learning from this year to prepare for the challenges in the upcoming season, expecting the team to rely on his experience while looking forward to continuous learning opportunities in the future.
