Can Lawson keep seat for 2027 season? - F1 Q&A
BBC Sport F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your latest questions.
Liam Lawson is currently the best of the rest in the driver standings, driving for Racing Bulls, who have the fifth quickest car on average this season. However, his future in F1 is uncertain due to the competition from his team-mate Arvid Lindblad, a rookie who is proving nearly as fast as Lawson. On average speed, Lindblad is slightly ahead of Lawson by 0.017 seconds.
Additionally, Isack Hadjar outperformed Lawson in 2025, leading to Red Bull promoting him instead of Yuki Tsunoda for this season. Lawson's reputation has suffered from two poor races at the start of 2025, leading to Red Bull demoting him back to Racing Bulls. The team's goal is to develop drivers for Red Bull, but the future of Lawson and his potential move up the grid remains uncertain.
