I think the criticism of Red Bull and Racing Bulls is getting a bit ridiculous. They’re not clueless about developing young drivers, and there’s no reason to assume they’ll mishandle this decision.
Permane said everyone would be happy when the announcement comes. To me, that suggests a sensible compromise: Lawson keeps his seat for 2027, Lindblad gets his opportunity, and Tsolov takes a reserve and development role with a proper FP1, testing and simulator programme.
That way, Lawson gets another season to prove himself, while Red Bull continues investing in two exciting young talents without rushing either of them. That’s smart driver management, not incompetence.
