It became known when Red Bull will decide on Verstappen’s partner

Red Bull will decide on its drivers for the 2026 Formula 1 season after the Mexico City stage, team adviser Helmut Marko has confirmed. Max Verstappen will remain at Red Bull: his contract runs until the end of the 2028 season, despite rumors of a possible transfer. It is not known who will be his partner with the start of a new era of regulation.

Isak Hajar already has a contract until 2026, but it is not yet clear whether he will stay with his team or become Verstappen’s partner. Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson are fighting for a place in the team and to continue their careers in Formula 1. The final decision will be made after the Mexican Grand Prix.

18-year-old Arvid Lindblad from the Red Bull youth program can also claim a place in the Racing Bulls. The team considers him ready for F1. Alex Dunn, a former McLaren academy driver, was previously on the list of contenders, but it is reported that he is no longer considered by the team even as a reserve.

So the battle for a place at the Racing Bulls comes down to Hajar, Tsunoda and Lawson with a possible surprise in the form of Lindblad.
