The Race: Lawson closes in on a 2027 Racing Bulls seat

Lawson’s 2027 seat had been a close choice between keeping him and promoting Red Bull junior Nikola Tsolov. Then Brazil gave the case for Lawson a boost: he started third, passed Lando Norris early and ran as high as second, before being classified seventh after Charles Leclerc’s penalty. The Race says the weekend appears to have tipped the balance, putting Lawson on track to get the nod. Team principal Alan Permane is understood to support him, but Red Bull’s main shareholders have not made the final decision. The Race expects an official announcement before the Las Vegas race.
