Once again with their late decisions Red Bull blocks their drivers from signing with another team... Yuki will only be a test driver in 2026, and we'll see if he can pull an Ocon/Albon from there or go into a different racing series

Red Bull Line-Up for 2026: Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar at Red Bull Racing; Liam Lawson and Arvin Lindblad at Racing Bulls; Yuki Tsunoda as test driver
(piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)
Red Bull just announced their driver line-ups for 2026.
I think Yuki has been around too long to pull an Ocon/Albon. He has less good will I feel, even thou it's largely Red Bull's fault.
Well that's kinda disappointing. Hadjar definitely deserves the RBR seat, he's clearly fast, but I hoped it would happen in 2027. I don't think Hadjar has the experience to give constructive feedback to the 2026 car which means we'll most likely be back to a car only Max can drive.
On a side note, I'm amazed they kept Lawson. I guess he'll be on the chopping block next year if Lindblad beats him as easily as Hadjar has beaten him.
On a side note, I'm amazed they kept Lawson.
Pretty much sums it up. I guess they don't want two rookies in the next generation of car?
If the second seat curse continues with Hadjar I'll probably cry. He's my favorite rookie by far!
