F1 2027 driver line-up: Which drivers are already confirmed for the 2027 grid?

As we know in this sport, everyone is always looking ahead – so here is a glimpse at what we can expect the F1 2027 driver line-up to look like as it stands.

A huge regulation change has taken place in 2026 and most of the grid was already covered for that transition, but as it stands only a select few drivers have contracts for F1 2027 – so there is plenty to play for at this point.

F1 2027: Which drivers are already contracted for the F1 2027 season?

McLaren

Lando Norris (contract until at least 2030)

Oscar Piastri (contracted until 2028)

Lando Norris penned a further contract extension with McLaren late in the 2026 season which takes him up to the 2030 campaign, with a ‘multi-year option to extend beyond that date’, meaning he could remain contracted until at least 2032, if activated.

Oscar Piastri signed a multi-year contract extension on the eve of the 2025 Australian Grand Prix. With his previous deal known to have a 2026 end date, a multi-year extension beyond 2026 logically takes him until 2028 at the very least with McLaren.

Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton (contract until at least end of 2027)

Charles Leclerc (further contract extension beyond 2030)

Charles Leclerc has signed another lengthy contract extension himself but no end date was listed.

He re-signed for what Ferrari called the “coming seasons” ahead of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix. PlanetF1.com understands Leclerc will continue with Ferrari beyond 2030.

As for Lewis Hamilton, his deal has no publicly-listed end date either, but confirmed at the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix that he is contracted for 2027, and potentially beyond.

Red Bull

Max Verstappen (contract until end of 2030)

Isack Hadjar (contract for 2027)

Max Verstappen signed a whopping seven-season contract extension with Red Bull after winning his first World Championship with the team in 2021, which was not only one of the longest deals in Formula 1 history but also widely reported to be one of its most lucrative.

That was extended in the build-up to the Dutch Grand Prix, the driver committing to Red Bull until 2030.

Isack Hadjar was confirmed for F1 2027 in the build-up to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as Red Bull complete its line-up.

Mercedes

Kimi Antonelli (contract until at least 2027)

George Russell (contract until at least 2027)

Mercedes did not post an official announcement that its drivers would be continuing into 2027, but the team has confirmed to PlanetF1.com that its line-up will remain into the 2027 campaign.

Toto Wolff previously hinted that its drivers would continue, telling Sky Sports F1 in June: “We don’t want to change things. We’ve said that also to George, I think it’s a line-up that is good for us. I’m very happy with the two of them.”

Aston Martin

Fernando Alonso

TBC

Although 2026 marked the last season in Fernando Alonso’s multi-year contract extension with Aston Martin, he has extended for F1 2027. That confirmation came in a cheeky video where Alonso said that he will be retiring from Formula 1, “but not yet.”

Lance Stroll will continue as his teammate in an unchanged line-up for the fifth year running.

Alpine

Pierre Gasly (contracted until 2028)

Franco Colapinto (contract for 2027 season)

Pierre Gasly was confirmed by Alpine to hold a contract until the 2028 season, meaning the team went into 2026 knowing that one seat was locked down for 2027.

Franco Colapinto has partnered the French driver in 2026, and his performances impressed the team enough to land him a contract renewal for 2027.

Haas

TBC

Haas signed both Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman to multi-year deals with the team from 2025 onwards, but without confirmation as to whether or not they cover the F1 2027 season.

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu confirmed Bearman is on a ‘2+1’ deal with the team, meaning the option is there for the team to sign him for 2027.

Racing Bulls

TBC

Red Bull’s sister team has yet to decide upon their F1 2027 line-up, and with junior drivers rising through the ranks all the time, we may have yet to see the next rising star on their radar.

Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad have performed well in the first half of 2026, but confirmation has not yet come over whether or not they will remain in the team for 2027.

Williams

Alex Albon (contract for 2027 season)

Carlos Sainz (contracted until 2028)

Williams brought in Carlos Sainz to much fanfare after it was announced he would be leaving Ferrari, on an initial two-year stint from 2025 “with options to extend”.

However, the team announced a new multi-year deal that would see him with the team until the 2028 campaign.

As for Alex Albon, Williams announced in August 2026 that he would continue with the team for a sixth season in 2027.

Audi

Nico Hulkenberg (contract for 2027 season)

Gabriel Bortoleto (contract for 2027 season)

The Audi F1 team already has their first line-up in place for 2026, when Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto oversee their transition from Sauber from 2025 onwards.

Bortoleto and Hulkenberg both signed multi-year contracts when they joined the team in 2025, but without contract end dates listed.

Cadillac

Valtteri Bottas (contract until 2027)

Sergio Perez (contract until 2027)

Cadillac joined the grid as the 11th Formula 1 team in 2026, with both Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas signed to the team for its debut season.

Both are understood to have been signed to multi-year deals with the team, taking them until at least the 2027 season.
