However, with no Red Bull seats available in the foreseeable future, given Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar\u2019s long-term contracts, Racing Bulls can also keep the status quo for another year at least.<\/p>\n

Further helping that cause, Lawson has scored the bulk of his team\u2019s points <\/a>as they close in on fifth in the constructors championship, in what would bank an estimated $180 million and be the highest finish in Racing Bulls\u2019 history.<\/p>\n Asked about his future after arriving at Interlagos for this weekend\u2019s Brazilian Grand Prix, the Kiwi again had no answers. <\/p>\n \u201cEvery weekend I\u2019ve been trying to do my best,\u201d Lawson said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a really strong year, we\u2019re in a strong position.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re pulling away from Alpine every weekend, with a few races left we\u2019re trying to stay on top of them. I don\u2019t know what else they want me to do, but it\u2019s just one of those things at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the end of the season, when something like this is pushed all the way to the end, you\u2019re left with not many options. It\u2019s not the easiest situation. <\/p>\n \u201cI want to be racing in Formula One, and I\u2019m trying to show my best every weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n Lawson has also been linked with taking Valtteri Bottas\u2019 seat at Cadillac<\/a>, however, that appears to be tenuous at best.<\/p>\n The American team has gone to great lengths to see Formula Two driver Colton Herta earn enough points for a Super Licence to theoretically be available for promotion if a change is made.<\/p>\n Already boasting a strong record in Brazil \u2013 with two points finishes in his first two visits to Interlagos \u2013 Lawson\u2019s cause is helped by arguably his best drive of his career in Mexico last week.<\/p>\n Starting in pit lane, Lawson went from 22nd to ninth when he crossed the line<\/a> and was upgraded to seventh once post-race penalties were handed to McLaren\u2019s Oscar Piastri and Alpine\u2019s Franco Colapinto.<\/p>\n And yet, his demeanour in post-race media duties left many thinking Lawson had already learned his fate. <\/p>\n
