New Liam Lawson clue as Red Bull teases final Tsolov 2027 decision

Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies says a final decision on Nikola Tsolov's 2027 programme will come "in a few months," as the Bulgarian F2 championship leader continues to impress on track and in the simulator. Mekies stressed Red Bull is taking a "long-term view" of the 19-year-old, similar to how it handled Isack Hadjar's development, rather than rushing a call. PlanetF1.com understands Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad are still expected to be retained at Racing Bulls for 2027, with Tsolov more likely to take a reserve role, potentially combined with a Super Formula seat, rather than an immediate race promotion. This comes after Red Bull's senior team confirmed Max Verstappen and Hadjar as its 2027 lineup in Baku.
