Visa Cash App Racing Bulls has retained Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad for the 2027 FIA Formula One World Championship, keeping its current race line-up together for a second season.

The team announced the decision on 12 November. Lawson will continue with the Faenza and Milton Keynes operation after a full 2026 campaign, while Lindblad will enter his second Formula 1 season following his rookie year.

Racing Bulls says the pair contributed to four consecutive double-points finishes during 2026 and supported its fight for fifth in the Constructors' Championship. Those results provide the team's stated rationale for continuity, but the announcement does not set championship, points or podium targets for 2027.

Team Principal and Co-CEO Sporting Alan Permane described the pairing as a combination of experience and ambition. The release does not disclose either driver's contract length beyond 2027, compensation, performance clauses, option structure or any reserve-driver arrangements.

The decision completes a separate part of Racing Bulls' 2027 planning after the team extended Permane's leadership contract through 2031 earlier in November. MRI treats the driver retention and the management extension as distinct events because they concern different contracts, people and announcement dates.

The team has not announced that the line-up decision changes its technical organisation, ownership, power-unit arrangement or factory footprint. MRI has therefore limited the article to the confirmed driver commitments and the team's published reasoning.

MRI compared the official and canonical team URL, headline, Racing Bulls, Liam Lawson, Arvid Lindblad, Alan Permane and the 12 November event date against existing MRI news. No article covers this 2027 driver pairing, and the separate Permane extension is not a near-duplicate.
