The 21-year-old New Zealander has impressed in his three outings as a stand-in for the injured 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo and scored his first F1 points at last we💮ekend’s Singapore Grand Prix. 

After knocking out 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s superior Red Bull to claim a spot in Q3, Lawson converted his top-10 starting berth into AlphaTauri’s best result of t✱he season with a strong d🅠rive to P9. 

Lawson’s form has 🧸168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:given Red Bull chiefs a difficult dilemma over who should get AlphaTauri’s two seats next year, with Ricciardo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda also in contention. 

“I wouldn’t be happy to go bꦯack to being reserve but obviously I know how hard it is to get to Formula 1,” Lawson said. 

“An♔d I understand that can be really, really difficult sometimes. So what will happen will happen, but these things I haven’t really thought ab♏out too much. 

“I’ve just tried to mܫake the most of this [op♔portunity].”

"On what's happened so far, it's been pretty positive, But I guess the message for m💎e has just been to keep my head down now and try and keep delivering until obviously thin♏gs clear up, until this opportunity I have ends when Daniel comes back.

"So, it'🐷s basically just doing a go𝐆od job but keep doing the same thing.

"Obviously, I want to be in Formula 1. Now I have this chance, I'm try🐟ing to do everything I can t💙o show that I can be here. 

“But in terms of al🦩l those diಞscussions, those will happen after this weekend."
