Liam Lawson Promoted to Third for Brazilian GP, First Podium Within Reach

Liam Lawson is in line to claim his first Formula 1 podium finish after penalties moved him up to third on the grid for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.

The New Zealander, driving for Visa Cash App RB, stands to benefit from sanctions applied to other drivers ahead of the race at Interlagos. If the revised starting order holds, Lawson would start from the second row and have a strong chance to finish in the top three.

Lawson has yet to reach the podium in his F1 career. The Brazilian GP represents his best opportunity so far, provided he can convert the grid position into a strong race result.
