Overview
- Two marshals entered the track to clear debris after early contact between Liam Lawson and Carlos Sainz, creating a near‑miss under double yellow flags at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
- The FIA said telemetry shows Lawson braked earlier and passed Turn 1 at a significantly lower speed than race pace, stating he was not at fault based on its initial assessment.
- OMDAI’s technical report asserts Lawson failed to sufficiently slow or alter his line under double yellows and assigns him responsibility for the dangerous situation.
- Published comparisons indicate Lawson’s speed through the sector was about 38% lower than on a later green‑flag lap, a data point now included in the evidence review.
- A comprehensive FIA investigation remains open with cooperation from OMDAI and Racing Bulls, no penalties have been announced, and potential Sporting Code consequences and procedural improvements are under evaluation.
