A mentoring role for Liam Lawson in the 2026 Formula 1 season. 

The New Zealand driver has retained his spot in Racing Bulls alongside 18-year-old debutant Arvid Lindblad. 

Lawson had been vying for the vacant seat with demoted Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda, following Isack Hadjar's promotion to the parent team. 

Former Williams and Ferrari executive Peter Windsor told Mike Hosking Lawson's the best fit for the requirements. 

He says Liam will flourish in a senior role and it’ll bring out the best in him.
