Lawson said he hasn’t yet had the chance to discuss tಌhe future but expects talks to take place after this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix - which is set to be his last appearance before Ricciardo returns to the AlphaTauri cockpit. 

"To be honest, t🤡here hasn't been a𒀰 huge amount of time to discuss the future," he explained. 

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

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

"Obviously, I want to be in Formula 1. Now I h🌳ave this chance, I'm trying ꦕto do everything I can to show that I can be here. 

“But in terms of all t🐲hose discussions, those will happen after this 𝔍weekend."
