Racing Bulls F1 2026: Results and Drivers, Measured
Guides
Racing Bulls' 2026 season, measured: 108 points, three drivers, and points in eleven races for a rookie
Racing Bulls are fifth in the 2026 constructors' championship on 108 points, with 35 finishes from 38 entries. Liam Lawson went to Red Bull and back, Yuki Tsunoda covered for three races, and rookie Arvid Lindblad has scored in eleven Grands Prix. The season race by race.
Racing Bulls have used three drivers in 2026, lost their lead driver to Red Bull for three races and got him back, and still finished 35 of their 38 race entries. They are fifth in the constructors' championship on 108 points, the best of the midfield.
Liam Lawson drove the first eleven races before Red Bull called him up to replace the injured Isack Hadjar. Yuki Tsunoda came out of his reserve role to take the seat for Zandvoort, Monza and Madrid, and Lawson came back from Baku. Alongside them all season, the rookie Arvid Lindblad has scored in eleven of his nineteen Grands Prix.
The team's best afternoon was Monaco, where Lawson finished fifth and Lindblad sixth. Every message from that race is in our Monaco Grand Prix 2026 race radio archive.

The season in numbers
108 points, fifth in the constructors' championship, 39 ahead of Alpine.
35 finishes from 38 entries: Lawson's retirement in Miami, Lindblad's non-start in Canada, and Lindblad's crash in Mexico City.
Best result: fifth, Lawson at Monaco, with Lindblad sixth behind him.
Both cars in the points seven times: Monaco, Barcelona, Austria, Silverstone, Hungary, Monza and Sepang.
3 drivers: Lindblad for all nineteen rounds, Lawson for sixteen, Tsunoda for three.
The seat that moved
Racing Bulls exist partly to develop drivers for Red Bull, and 2026 showed the system working at short notice. When Hadjar fractured his wrist over the summer break, Lawson moved up to the senior team, and Tsunoda, Red Bull's reserve, took his place, scoring a point at Monza. Since Lawson came back in Baku he has had the best run of points of anyone at the team: seventh at Sepang, seventh in Singapore with fifth in the sprint, ninth in Austin and seventh in Mexico City from 22nd on the grid.
The standings show the move in an odd way: Racing Bulls' 108 points are fewer than the combined tally of the drivers who have raced for them, because 14 of Lawson's 83 were scored in the Red Bull. Constructors' points follow the car. The whole table is in the 2026 standings.
The rookie
Lindblad, 18 at his debut and the fourth-youngest driver in Formula 1 history, has been the team's constant: points in eleven of his nineteen Grands Prix, and every race from Monaco to Hungary. He is also, by our count, the driver who thanks his team on the radio most often. His Monaco message:

"Unbelievable result. Amazing work. Yeah, thank you to everyone." His most recent race ended early: running in the points in Mexico City, he collided with Oscar Piastri on lap 59 and crashed at turn 2. Piastri was penalised. The race is in our Mexico City GP 2026 race report.
Racing Bulls use the Red Bull Ford power unit, the first engine Red Bull has built itself. Across both teams it has the lowest non-finish rate of the five manufacturers, 8 cars unclassified in 76 entries, and Racing Bulls' three are a small part of that. The comparison is in Red Bull's 2026 season.
What is left
Four rounds remain: Sao Paulo, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi. Racing Bulls are fifth, 39 points ahead of Alpine, so fifth is close to settled. The Sao Paulo times are in our Sao Paulo GP 2026 preview.
