F1 drivers line-up

The line-up for the 2026 FORMULA 1 season has been finalized. Which drivers will be on the grid next season? Find out below.

Driver 1: Max Verstappen

Driver 2: Isack Hadjar

Oracle Red Bull Racing continues to be one of the teams in the spotlight this season. After a difficult start to the 2026 season, doubts emerged about Max Verstappen’s future with the team, and there is still no complete certainty regarding his long-term plans.

According to rumours, Verstappen has been linked with a move to McLaren, partly due to the potential switch of Gianpiero Lambiase to the team. Mercedes has also maintained interest in Verstappen for several years, which remains no secret within the Formula 1 paddock.

If Verstappen were to leave Red Bull, Oscar Piastri has been mentioned as a possible replacement. Meanwhile, the second Red Bull seat is expected to remain with Isack Hadjar, who has impressed with his performances and appears set to continue with the team.

Driver 1: Charles Leclerc

Driver 2: Lewis Hamilton

The Ferrari team also appears set to continue with the same driver line-up heading into 2027. Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory for the Italian team in 2026, while Charles Leclerc has renewed his contract once again and is expected to remain with Ferrari until at least 2030.

Hamilton is also reportedly looking to extend his stay with the Italian outfit for another season.

Driver 1: George Russell

Driver 2: Andrea Kimi Antonelli

The Mercedes team also appears to have its 2027 line-up largely secured. Kimi Antonelli carried his strong end to the 2025 season into 2026 and has already claimed five victories, establishing himself as one of the main title contenders.

George Russell has had a more inconsistent season, but his seat for 2027 still appears to be secure, with no serious alternative candidates currently being linked to the team. Although the contracts of both drivers expire at the end of 2026, extensions are expected to follow.

Driver 1: Lando Norris

Driver 2: Oscar Piastri

McLaren has a stable driver line up for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, with two top level drivers secured. Although there have been rumours that Max Verstappen could potentially move to McLaren, which would mean Oscar Piastri would have to make way, this scenario currently appears unlikely.

The expectation is therefore that McLaren will continue with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri for both the 2027 and 2028 seasons.

Driver 1: Lance Stroll

Driver 2: Fernando Alonso

Aston Martin is experiencing a disappointing 2026 season, with performances falling short of the expectations set before the year began, when the team was expected to compete for podium finishes and victories.

As a result, rumours have emerged that Fernando Alonso could return to Alpine, partly due to his strong personal relationship with Flavio Briatore. Lance Stroll has been a subject of discussion for several years, but his position within the team appears to remain secure for now.

If Alonso were to leave the team, reserve driver Jak Crawford has been mentioned as a possible replacement.

Driver 1: Liam Lawson

Driver 2: Arvid Lindblad

The RB team is always a difficult one to predict, but at the moment Red Bull’s sister team appears satisfied with its current driver line-up and there seems to be little reason for immediate changes.

However, rumours suggest that RB is interested in young Bulgarian driver Nikola Tsolov for 2027. Tsolov has impressed during his rookie Formula 2 season and has put himself in contention for a potential Formula 1 seat.

A possible arrival of Tsolov could mean that Liam Lawson would either move up to Red Bull Racing or look for an opportunity with another team.

Driver 1: Esteban Ocon

Driver 2: Oliver Bearman

The Haas team is currently one of the most interesting teams on the driver market, with several names being linked to a potential seat. Among the drivers mentioned are Rafa Câmara, Ryo Hirakawa, and Yuki Tsunoda.

Câmara has impressed with his strong performances in Formula 2 and his previous Formula 3 championship title. His status as a Ferrari junior driver could also work in his favour, given the close partnership between Ferrari and Haas.

Ryo Hirakawa has been a test driver for Haas for several years and has already completed multiple practice sessions and tyre tests for the team. Yuki Tsunoda is also being linked with Haas due to the team’s partnership with Toyota, which would be interested in having a Japanese driver in Formula 1.

The contracts of both Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon expire at the end of 2026. Bearman appears to have a strong chance of retaining his seat based on his impressive performances, while Ocon’s situation is less certain, with a possible departure from Formula 1 after this season not being ruled out.

Driver 1: Alex Albon

Driver 2: Carlos Sainz

The Williams team also appears set to continue with its current driver line-up in the coming years. Although the contracts of Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon are set to expire, both drivers are expected to extend their contracts with the team.

Driver 1: Nico Hulkenberg

Driver 2: Gabriel Bortoleto

The Audi team has two strong drivers and appears set to maintain confidence in its current line-up heading into 2027. In addition, the team has a promising young talent within its development programme: Freddie Slater, who has been impressing in Formula 3 with consistently strong performances. He is considered a potential candidate to take over Nico Hülkenberg’s seat in the coming years.

Driver 1: Pierre Gasly

Driver 2: Franco Colapinto

The Alpine team is performing strongly in 2026 and is among the best teams in the midfield. Pierre Gasly appears set to remain with the French outfit and has a contract that runs until the end of 2028.

Franco Colapinto’s contract expires at the end of 2026, and his future seems to depend on potential developments, such as a possible arrival of Fernando Alonso at Alpine. In addition, Alpine junior drivers Alex Dunne and Gabriele Mini are also being mentioned as potential candidates who could step up to a Formula 1 seat in the future.

Driver 1: Sergio Perez

Driver 2: Valtteri Bottas

The newest team on the Formula 1 grid, Cadillac, appears to already be preparing for a possible driver change after its first season. Valtteri Bottas could make way for Colton Herta, who is currently competing in Formula 2 and is gaining experience with the aim of making a potential move to Formula 1 in the future.
