Red Bull have made a final decision about their driver line-up for the 2026 F1

Isack Hadjar is expected to replace Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull, becoming Max Verstappen’s teammate. Consequently, junior driver Arvid Lindblad is set to join sister team Racing Bulls. The final Racing Bulls seat remains a contest between Tsunoda and Liam Lawson, though Lawson appears favored after outperforming Tsunoda in Qatar.

While Team Principal Laurent Mekies praised Tsunoda’s recent pace, he confirmed a line-up announcement is pending. Red Bull remains focused on the Abu Dhabi finale, ensuring no distractions impact Verstappen’s tight title defense against the McLaren drivers.

Mekies emphasized the need for Tsunoda to perform at 100% in the finale to support the team's championship efforts. If Tsunoda is ultimately dropped, his Honda links could secure him a reserve role at Aston Martin, as their race seats are already filled for next season.
