Can Lawson keep seat for 2027 season? - F1 Q&A
BBC Sport F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your latest questions.
Liam Lawson currently leads the standings in the drivers' championship for Racing Bulls, making him the best of the rest in the F1 season. The team's car is the fifth quickest on average this season, placing Lawson well behind top four teams' drivers. However, Lawson's future in F1 might be uncertain due to his recent performance against his team-mate Arvid Lindblad, who is proving to be a strong competitor.
While Lindblad trails Lawson by 20 points, their average speeds are nearly identical, with Lindblad holding a slight edge by 0.017 seconds. Lawson's poor start to 2025, including a demotion to Racing Bulls, may have impacted his reputation. The new leadership at Red Bull, under Laurent Mekies and Gwen Lagrue, remains to be seen on how they view Lawson's future prospects.
