The 2026 Formula One season starts on Sunday 8 March in Australia – and the driver line-up for next year is now complete.
Red Bull, and their sister outfit Racing Bulls, were the final teams to confirm their 2026 driver line-up, with fans eager to discover who will partner four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
Isack Hadjar has been confirmed as Verstappen’s teammate, following an impressive rookie campaign at RB. Liam Lawson has been retained by Racing Bulls, while 18-year-old British teenager Arvid Lindblad is handed the opportunity of a lifetime as he is promoted from F2 to a Racing Bulls F1 seat.
The announcement means Yuki Tsunoda, after five years in the Red Bull system, loses his F1 seat, but he remains in the Red Bull family as a test and reserve driver.
