Overview
- The near-miss happened on lap three between Turns 1 and 2 as two marshals crossed to clear debris from Lawson’s lap-one contact with Carlos Sainz.
- OMDAI says Racing Bulls warned Lawson about double yellows, requiring a significant speed reduction, readiness to stop and no overtaking.
- The federation released onboard screenshots asserting he maintained his line through Turn 1 despite workers on the track.
- Lawson called the episode unacceptable and said he nearly hit a marshal.
- The FIA said marshals were put on standby, the dispatch was then rescinded with double yellows shown, and it is still investigating; stewards did not review the incident during the race.
