Racing Bulls has announced a revised driver line-up for the 2026 F1 season, which will see a rookie driver join its ranks.
The team will no longer field Isack Hadjar, who has been promoted to Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen.
Racing Bulls has confirmed it has retained Liam Lawson for another year, while junior driver Arvid Lindblad will step up to F1.
Lindblad is currently racing in the Formula 2 category and sits sixth in the drivers' standings ahead of the final round in Abu Dhabi.
The British driver has achieved two wins and a further two podiums during his rookie campaign in the series.
Lindblad will be the youngest driver on the grid next year at just 18 years of age, and has already had two FP1 outings this year with Red Bull in Great Britain and Mexico.
He will be joined by the more experienced Liam Lawson. 2026 will mark Lawson's second full season in F1, having had part-time spells in 2023 and 2024.
The New Zealander started the current campaign at the senior Red Bull squad but struggled for form across the opening two rounds, resulting in his demotion back to Racing Bulls.
He has since scored 38 points across the season and bagged a career-best result in Azerbaijan with a run to fifth place.
