Lawson’s ‘weirdest dream’

Racing Bulls have had a laugh at being the last Formula 1 team to confirm their driver line-up for 2027 by releasing an amusing skit featuring Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad.

The team and its two drivers have faced plenty of questions from media in recent weeks as speculation swirled around whether they would both retain their seats.

Racing Bulls confirmed on November 13 they were sticking with the pair and posted a funny video online as part of the announcement.

The clip starts by showing Kiwi driver Lawson and his British teammate wearing wigs and slightly unusual outfits as journalists pester them for answers about their future. 

It turns out the pair were both having the “weirdest dream” about not knowing what was happening next year, but then a problem arises when they can’t enter the team’s building using their swipe cards.

However, the clip ends with a happy twist, much to Lawson and Lindblad’s relief.
