Overview
- After reviewing data, the FIA said Liam Lawson braked earlier than on other laps and took Turn 1 at a significantly lower speed, finding no fault by the driver.
- The governing body confirmed a broader internal review is underway that syncs telemetry, onboard video and multilingual radio traffic.
- OMDAI Sport México had issued a technical report alleging Lawson failed to obey double yellows and held his line while marshals were on track.
- The incident followed Lawson’s contact with Carlos Sainz that scattered debris, leading marshals to enter the circuit as Lawson returned from a pit stop.
- The episode has intensified scrutiny of marshal protection and flag compliance procedures, with any final disciplinary outcome dependent on the FIA’s ongoing investigation.
