Laurent Mekies has confirmed Red Bull will not stick to its original deadline of deciding its 2026 lineup, suggesting Yuki Tsunoda still has time to retain his seat. It had been suggested that Red Bull was planning to make a final call about its lineup after this weekend’s race in Mexico, but Mekies has insisted there is “no need to rush.”

Arvid Lindblad is being tipped to join Racing Bulls for his rookie campaign, leaving just one seat available for either Lawson, who is wrapping up his first full season in the sport, or Tsunoda, who has five years with the Red Bull squads.

Tsunoda was frustrated after being knocked out of qualifying early, having failed to make it round to the start of his final flying lap before the chequered flag came out for the end of the session.

Jacques Villeneuve has named four-time and reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou as the "perfect" driver to occupy the second Red Bull seat alongside Max Verstappen in 2026.

Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar has been linked with a step up to Red Bull in 2026, with Tsunoda’s Formula 1 future not yet decided beyond the end of the year. Gasly was asked about his own perspective and the advice he would hand to his friend and former teammate, with the Frenchman having now secured his own future at Alpine until 2028.

It has been confirmed that Red Bull F1 star Yuki Tsunoda will drive a special Honda car during the Mexican Grand Prix weekend.

Yuki Tsunoda ’s best weekend in months has put his Red Bull future back in play — with Helmut Marko now signalling that the team may delay a final decision on who partners Max Verstappen in 2026.
