    The 2027 F1 grid: Every confirmed driver

    2 weeks ago

    2027 could be a year of great change in Formula 1's driver market as a new pecking order forms and some teams become more (or less) attractive.So below you'll find the confirmed seats for F1 2027 so far. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have both inked long-term deals with McLaren that should keep them both at the team until at least the end of 2027 - and in Piastri's car, the end of 2028. George Russell and Kimi Antonelli were only confirmed for 2026 in October 2025, and nothing beyond 2026 was communicated within that announcement, although The Race understands both drivers have multi-year deals with various options that can be triggered for extensions.Back in 2022, Max Verstappen signed a deal to keep him at Red Bull until 2028, though there are potential options for him to exit before then - with one exit clause for 2026 that could be activated if Verstappen isn't in the top two in the drivers' championship before the middle of the year. Verstappen's new 2026 team-mate Isack Hadjar doesn't have a deal beyond this year. Charles Leclerc signed a bumper long-term deal in January 2024 for "several more seasons". It's been rumoured that the deal will last until the end of 2029, though there is a break clause after 2027. Whether Lewis Hamilton remains beyond his second year at Ferrari in 2026 remains to be seen. Neither Alex Albon nor Carlos Sainz are officially confirmed for 2027 yet, though both did extend (Albon) or sign (Sainz) multi-year deals in 2024. Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad are Racing Bulls' driver pairing for 2026, but neither knows if they'll be continuing into 2027 yet. Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin contract expires at the end of 2026, while Lance Stroll was confirmed for 2025 and 2026 in June 2024. No details of Aston Martin's 2027 driver line-up have been revealed yet. Both of Haas's 2026 drivers Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman don't have a deal at Haas beyond the end of this year. Both Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto signed for Audi on "multi-year" deals back in 2024, but the exact end date of both deals is unknown. So for now Audi's 2027 line-up remains a mystery. Midway through 2025, Pierre Gasly's Alpine deal was extended through to the end of 2028.But the identity of his team-mate is yet to be confirmed.Cadillac's first F1 driver line-up of Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas both signed up for the team on "multi-year" deals from 2026.McLaren: Lando Norris and Oscar PiastriMercedes: TBCRed Bull: Max Verstappen and TBCFerrari: Charles Leclerc and TBC Williams: TBCRacing Bulls: TBCAston Martin: TBCHaas: TBCAudi: TBC Alpine: Pierre Gasly and TBC Cadillac: Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas
