998 999<!-- / OptinMonster --> 1000<p>The past years have brought plenty of dramas: <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/lewis-hamilton">Lewis Hamilton</a>âs move to <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/teams/ferrari">Ferrari</a>; McLaren and <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/teams/alpine/">Alpine</a> fighting over <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/oscar-piastri/">Oscar Piastri</a>; and a lngthy period of turmoil at Red Bull have meant that the driver market often makes just as many headlines as the racing itself. With that in mind, hereâs everything we currently know about which drivers will be driving which cars in 2027. Click to jump to the <a href="#confirmed">confirmed 2027 F1 driver line-ups</a>.</p> 1001<h3 class="msm-autolink-disable"><b>Max Verstappen remains at Red Bull</b></h3> 1002<p>In recent weeks <a href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a> ended months of speculation about his racing future by re-committing to <a href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/teams/red-bull-racing/">Red Bull</a>, signing a contract to race with the Formula 1 team until the end of 2030.</p> 1003<p>The four-time champion extended his previous deal, which ran to 2028 and was worth a reported $65m (£55.6m). The move closed off suggestions that he could jump to Mercedes or <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/teams/aston-martin">Aston Martin</a>, and reduces the chances of any major driver changes during this yearâs silly season.</p> 1004<p>There were doubts whether Verstappen even wanted to remain in F1, let alone at Red Bull, given his vocal complaints about this yearâs new regulations and his foray into sports car racing. He compared the 2026 cars to Mario Kart, complaining that the racing was artificial. At the same time, this yearâs Red Bull has been off the pace; inconsistent and difficult to set up.</p> 1005<p>The lack of performance meant that Verstappen could have activated exit clauses in his contract, but he said that remaining with Red Bull was always his intention, notwithstanding the lack of an obvious vacancy at any of the other top teams.</p> 1006<p>âTo continue this journey with the same team that I have been with my whole career is really special and something I have always wanted to do,â he said.</p> 1007<h3><b>Long-term contracts</b></h3> 1008<p>The Formula 1 driver market has recently worked around one to two year deals, as both drivers and teams keep their options open, particularly around the recent regulation changes: drivers donât want to get stuck with an underperforming team, while teams always want the fastest new talent in their cars.</p> 1009<p>The top drivers, however, are locking themselves in to longer-term, lucrative deals. <a href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/lando-norris/">Lando Norris</a> recently signed a deal lasting until at least 2030 this year â with an option to continue well past then if both parties agree. <a href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/charles-leclerc/">Charles Leclerc</a> has signed extended his existing Ferrari contract until the end of 2028 at least. Verstappen and Red Bull typically commit for several seasons, and this year, they inked a contract that runs until the end of 2030.</p> 1010<p>However, these donât necessarily guarantee stability, with multiple clauses giving both driver and team the option to terminate the deal in certain circumstances â such as if performances donât live up to expectations.</p> 1011<p><b>What else do we know about the 2027 driver market?</b></p> 1012<p>There have been several other signings in the last few months: Williams will retain both <a href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/alexander-albon/">Alex Albon</a> and <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/carlos-sainz-jr">Carlos Sainz</a> next year.</p> 1013<p>The driver market could still deliver changes. Seven spaces remain unfilled on the 2027 grid, including at <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/teams/aston-martin">Aston Martin</a> where <a class="msm-autolink" href="https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/drivers/fernando-alonso">Fernando Alonso</a> is yet to decide on his plans. Elsewhere, a number of drivers are at risk of being dropped.</p> 1014<p>Below are the contracts in place for next season, and the latest rumours on who might fill the unconfirmed seats.
