Racing Bulls talent not set for racing cameo despite rumors

Amid the rise of Formula 1 drivers exploring other opportunities during the April break following the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, several are competing in other series

Max Verstappen is set to drive at the 24h Nurburgring Qualifiers next weekend, while Lance Stroll will drive an Aston Martin in the GT World Challenge Europe series at the Circuit Paul Ricard.

In Australia, it was also reported that Racing Bulls driver Lawson could feature in the third round of the Repco Supercars Championship, which is set to take place in his home country, New Zealand.

GPblog understands that Lawson will not compete in the series.

The New Zealander has enjoyed a positive spell during the opening Grands Prix of the 2026 Formula 1 season. He scored his first points during the Sprint in China and followed that up with seventh- and ninth-place finishes at the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix

This means that he is currently 10th in the standings with 10 points, only two behind his ex-teammate Max Verstappen.

The F1 season will continue during the first weekend of May in Miami.
