Red Bull will decide on their lineup after the race in Mexico.

      Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko, in a recent comment to the Austrian press, confirmed that the line-ups for Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls for 2026 will be decided after the Mexican Grand Prix.

      Thus, Isack Hadjar, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda have two more rounds to prove themselves.

      Helmut Marko: "We'll make the decision after the race in Mexico. Isack has already proven himself well and is now enjoying the situation. He has achieved incredible results. As for Tsunoda, the team has started to pay more attention to him, and that has brought some success. But Yuki knows that he still needs results."

      Answering a question about whether Arvid Lindblad has a chance of getting into Formula 1 in 2026, Marko said: "Basically, yes. He's simply younger than Hadjar, and we've already seen that age matters in Formula 1. But he's another one of our hopes, and we'll see him behind the wheel this year [in a practice session]."

      At the same time, Helmut Marko rejected the idea of working with former member of McLaren's young driver programme Alex Dunne: "He's not an option for us."
