Lawson closes in on Racing Bulls seat over Tsolov

Liam Lawson appears to be regaining ground in his battle for the Racing Bulls seat, after a strong run through the Americas triple-header. He took ninth in Austin and then two seventh-place finishes in Mexico and Brazil, helping the team to fifth in the constructors' championship.

Rival Nikola Tsolov impressed on his FP1 debut in Mexico, but according to a report from The Race, which Autosport understands to be accurate, Lawson is now set to stay on in 2027, with Tsolov joining as a reserve. Sources say a final decision is close but has not yet been signed off, with the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend seen as the likely timing.
