Red Bull Set to Announce Both F1 Team Driver Lineups on Tuesday: Rumors on Who’s Joining and Leaving

Red Bull Racing is expected to announce its Formula 1 driver lineups for the upcoming season on Tuesday, December 2. This announcement has been confirmed by team principal Laurent Mekies. The team is currently solidified with reigning champion Max Verstappen set to return for another season.

New Additions and Departures

Reports suggest that Isack Hadjar, a promising talent from Red Bull’s academy, may join Verstappen at Red Bull Racing. Hadjar had his debut season with the secondary team, Racing Bulls, where he showcased potential despite a rough start.

  • Isack Hadjar: 21-year-old French driver, scored 51 points this season.
  • Max Verstappen: The current Formula 1 title contender will retain his seat.

Hadjar’s promotion hints at a significant shift, potentially placing Yuki Tsunoda in a precarious position. Sources indicate that Tsunoda may not be demoted to Racing Bulls, as Hadjar’s ascension leaves an opening there.

Racing Bulls Lineup

The vacancy at Racing Bulls is likely to be filled by Arvid Lindblad. The 18-year-old British-Swedish rookie is currently performing well in Formula 2, ranking sixth. He is expected to partner with Liam Lawson in the upcoming season.

  • Arvid Lindblad: Ranked sixth in Formula 2 and poised to debut for Racing Bulls.
  • Liam Lawson: Expected to remain alongside Lindblad in Racing Bulls.

As the date approaches, fans eagerly await the official confirmation of these driver changes. The announcement on December 2 will clarify the future dynamics of Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls.
