Overview
- OMDAI Sport Mexico issued a detailed statement alleging Lawson failed to slow sufficiently under double‑waved yellow flags and did not alter his line, citing onboard stills as evidence.
- The near-miss occurred on lap three between Turns 1 and 2 after Lawson pitted due to first‑lap contact with Carlos Sainz and rejoined out of sequence.
- The FIA said marshals had been placed on standby to clear debris, then told to hold once Lawson pitted, with double yellows shown in the area, and its investigation remains active.
- Race stewards did not open an in‑race inquiry into Lawson, and OMDAI’s public attribution of fault sits at odds with the governing body’s ongoing review.
- Lawson called the situation unacceptable over radio and post‑race interviews, and one outlet reported FIA officials privately apologised to him, a claim that has not been confirmed.
