"I've dreamed of driving an F1 car since I was a kid. I got to do it at Goodwood but now to do a proper test is really, really exciting."
Alpha Tauri sits sixth in the constructors' championship with Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda having fairly solid seasons. The duo have already been confirmed to remain with the team for the 2022 season
Gasly, who won his maiden race last year at the Italian Grand Prix, has had one podium this year along with two top-five finishes. Test driver Alex Albon has signed with Williams for 2022 which opens up a potential spot for Lawson.
Lawson drove an F1 car for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.
That has contributed to an amazing year for the teenager, who leads the DTM German touring car series driving for Red Bull, and lies eighth in the F2 championship thanks to a strong start.
Kiwi motor racing legend Greg Murphy has already stated that Lawson is "absolutely destined for F1".
Lawson is on track to secure an FIA Super Licence, meaning he will be eligible to take part in the free F1 practice sessions next year.
"I'm not sure about next year - I'm just looking forward to doing the test at the end of the year," said Lawson, who races for the British Hitech GP Formula 2 team.
"I would love to (do the F1 practice sessions) but I need certain points for the super licence.
"It depends how I finish in the DTM, I could get super licence if finish in top two.
"It would be would be cool to do the free practice sessions next year."
