Predicting the 2027 F1 Driver Lineups!
About this episode
With a month-long F1 break, the Late Braking crew runs through predictions for the 2027 driver lineups across all 11 teams, focusing on which contracts are likely to hold and where big-name moves could happen. The biggest debate: whether Max Verstappen jumps to Mercedes (and how fast Mercedes would need to act), plus who replaces Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari—Oscar Piastri vs Liam Lawson vs Hamilton staying. They also map Haas, Alpine, Red Bull, and the midfield, then finish with a trivia game on Norris/Russell/Leclerc stats.
The LB boys are predicting the entire 2027 F1 grid! Who stays, who makes a move, and which new talents make their debut? Plus, which current drivers could be out of the sport for good? Tune in to hear our predictions.
