Ricciardo appears to be taking over. Still waiting for an offical source.

My sense is that the front-runners were Schumacher (who Tost was pushing for based on the above ESPN article), Lawson/Hauger (who are the RB juniors closest to be ready for a callup), and Ricciardo who didn't want the seat last year. I feel like Nyck was a dark horse who shook up the order last year, but I don't think they really lost any options giving him a shot.
