The 2026 drivers’ line-up at Red Bull Racing and its sister team Racing Bulls is fast becoming a topical issue, with team executives Laurent Mekies, Helmut Marko, and Racing Bulls team principal Alan Permane commenting on the delayed driver decision.

Conversations between Red Bull and Alex Dunne are ongoing, although talks are no longer thought to be focused on the Red Bull junior

Lindblad is in line for a promotion to F1 next season with junior squad Racing Bulls and his performance yesterday gave his chances of landing that seat a shot in the arm. Team adviser Helmut Marko, who has significant influence over Red Bull's driver decisions, was unprepared to give anything away.

Red Bull F1 advisor Helmut Marko has issued a final decision on one particular young driver that has been linked with a seat with the team for 2026.

Max Verstappen has firmly rejected Helmut Marko’s suggestion that his passion for Formula 1 waned earlier this season.

Helmut Marko has delivered a note of caution over Max Verstappen's "bit exaggerated" chances of retaining the World title.

A deadline for a decision on the second Red Bull F1 seat for 2026 has been set by Helmut Marko ahead of this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix. Yuki Tsunoda has not performed well alongside Max Verstappen since he was promoted from Racing Bulls back in April, only scoring 25 points across 19 grands prix weekends.
