The path to Formula 1 for Nikola Tsolov has taken a significant turn as the Bulgarian Formula 2 star has been handed a vital role for the 2027 season. Following his impressive debut in the FP1 session at the Mexico City GP, Tsolov has been officially named as the reserve driver for both Red Bull Racing and the Racing Bulls squad.
This decision follows the team's commitment to maintaining its current driver lineup, with Liam Lawson proving his consistency throughout the year, alongside the confirmed retention of Arvid Lindblad for the upcoming campaign. By securing Tsolov in a dual-reserve role, the team ensures that he remains a core part of their driver development pathway.
Expressing his gratitude for the new responsibility, Tsolov noted, "I am incredibly happy and grateful to Red Bull for giving me this opportunity. Since joining the Junior Team, I have received amazing support and have developed so much, both as a driver and as a person. My career has progressed incredibly quickly, and I owe a lot to everyone who has believed in me and helped me get to this point."
Tsolov remains laser-focused on his ultimate goal of securing a permanent seat on the F1 grid. He believes this hybrid reserve role provides the necessary foundation to prepare for the leap to the top tier of motorsport. "I am confident that with the team's support and experience, I will have the best possible preparation to make sure I am fully ready to take the next step onto the F1 grid when the time comes. I know there is still a lot to learn, but I am ready to work hard and give everything I have to the team," he stated.
The promotion of Tsolov adds a new layer of intrigue to the future of Yuki Tsunoda within the Red Bull setup. As the team solidifies its bench strength for 2027, the internal competition for future seats continues to intensify. For now, Tsolov is focused on finishing his F2 season on a high note before transitioning into his new duties within the F1 paddock.
